VARATHRON (GREECE)

In the early days of 1988, four unholy souls, Captain Death (Spyros) (drums-ex-VOMIT and SOUND POLUTION), Mutilator(Jim) (bass, also in Rotting Christ), John (guitar, also in DANGER CROSS) and Necroabyssious (Stephan) (vocals, ex SICKNESS MIND), united their dark forces under the flag of VARATHRON! After a lot of rehearsals the first demo was a reality! Everything begun a stormy October night of 1989, when Necroabyssious, Mutilator, John and Captain Death recorder their legendary demo- "PROCREATION OF THE UNALTERED EVIL"! The tape in spite of its poor sound quality had a pure blasphemic feeling which kills your brain". In December of 1989, the occult song called "THE GREAT SEAL OF GRAAL" was recorded. It was the last recording with Captain Death on drums. So, in the year 1990, VARATHRON line-up had changed. The last days of December 1990, five black souls came in the studio for the new recordings. Necroabyssious, Mutilator, John, Stavros (guitar now in Horrified) and Themis (drums, also in Rotting Christ), recorded the second demo- "GENESIS OF APOCRYPHAL DESIRE". A month later, after their second demo, BLACK VOMIT REC. released a VARATHRON EP, called "ONE STEP BEYOND DREAMS". 1992 brought VARATHRON a cult band status and the great respect in the world of Metal! That was the VARATHRON/NECROMANTIA split album entitled significantly "BLACK ARTS LEAD TO EVERLASTING SINS", released under the flag of BLACK POWER RECORDS
