History & Biography
Eminenz is a German black metal band, formed in 1989, whose members were active in different death metal bands. The band supported Mayhem's true line-up in 1990 of which a video is available today. The band is called an earlier example of German black metal, but has had keyboards in its sound since Benedikt Kern's arrival in 1993. Multiple demos include Necronomicon Exmortis (1991), Slayer Of My Daughter (also 1991), Blasphemy-Live (1992), Ghost (also 1992) and Preachers Of Darkness (also 1992 and sometimes simply called Eminenz). Guitarist Micha of Krig and Mortal Decay joined in 2000. The latest member stayed two years. A limited edition LP by City Of The Dead Records/Miriquidi Productions called Deathfall compiled demo tracks in 2001. The band toured with Morrigan, Abigail and Anael in 2004. Black Abyss switched to guitar in 2006. Two Decades Of Blasphemy was a 2009 compilation. Nemesis Noctura was a 2011 demo.

The band went into a decade of relative silence until 2021 brought a new record. Eminenz had played several concerts and gone through line-up changes in the previous decade however. Darkman remained on guitar. Black Abyss was on bass and guitar again. Guitarist Kelthor had joined in 2018 rendering Eminenz a three-guitar act. Eminenz's Diabolical Warriors Tour of 2023 featured Saxorior and Obtest. Lorenzo left the band for a second time following this tour. Northern Silence III festival in Germany, which had billed the band, was cancelled in 2025.
