History & Biography
The Stuttgart, Germany-based group had a song called Die Another Day in 2020. The band and Gefrierbrand had a Halloween show in 2021. The Germany-based death metal band Helldrifter signed a digital distribution deal with Nuclear Blast‘s Blood Blast Distribution for the digital release of an upcoming album in 2021 whose details would be announced soon.

Bassist Igor Montez Alvarez was announced in 2022. Adam Wiechowski had been on bass. Adam's departure was attributed to "songwriting issues." When pressed, however, the departure was attributed to "internal matters" indicating songwriting was not the complete story. The act was working on a new album in late 2023. Impiety announced the Kaos 696 Winter War 2024 of Europe with Nihilo and Helldrifter. The band was also booked for the Iron Fest Open Air in 2024. Dark Descent was a 7" in 2024. The second full-length was available in May of 2025. It was called Shell Of Inexistence. Felix Axegrinder was the bassist as of late 2024. The band was relatively inactive in 2025 and only opened for Hate Squad in Waldbronn. Several 2026 gigs were called Ambassadors Over Europe with opening act Infest Serbia.
