History & Biography
The band became a band in 1993 and issued demo tapes with names like The Unholy War (which went unreleased), An Eternal Curse Of The Pagan Godz and Bogowie Zapomnienia.Evidently, the band switched from English to Polish, which was the case with the debut record. Imperium was released at the end of 1996. The group signed to Folter Records of Germany, which went unfulfilled and worked with Pussy God next, but eventually after much delay the sophomore landed through Eclipse Productions. The band was Messiah, Khorzon and Witchlord now. Messiah, Lord Winter, Witchlord and Pitzer would join Khorzon in the ambient Mussorgski as well. The band was only Khorzon and Witchlord on the Konstelacja Lodu album. Surely, the act would be a solo one next.

Instead, the steady stream of albums ceased and there were a couple of split releases and compilations next. The Chaos.Ice.Fire demo of 2013 was given a release by Hellfire Records. The young imprint was actually owned by former bassist Conqueror. Khorzon had handed the microphone to Armagog. They were joined by Triumphator and drummer Tzargath. The band announced a tour with Inferno, Armada and Panychida. The act released Lunaris next and worked with Debemur Morti. Former singer Messiah died of a heart attack in 2017. He was 46. Arkona and Batushka toured.

The pattern started anew seemingly when the band went from four to three here. Instead Drac joined for Age Of Capricorn. A new album was issued in 2024. Kaamos was on guitar. Nechrist had been with the band from 2013 to 2021. The band was billed at Metal Mine Festival 2024 and Servants Of Chaos Festival 2024. The group also announced Stella Pandora Tour Part II for 2025 and was booked for Madness Over Thuringia II later in the year. Belphegor, Arkona, Hate and Vale Of Pnath were touring North America in March and April 2025. Patriarkh was conducting The Prophets Source European Tour in January of 2026. Arkona, Hate, Halls Of Oblivion and Sanity opened. Arkona, Konigreichssaal and Czort booked a gig for April of 2026.

A folk-influenced band by the same name does the rounds in Russia.
