History & Biography
This group was founded in 1994. The first demo was called Terror, Storm And Darkest Arts and appeared in 1996. The line-up on the tape read singer D. Lohenburg, guitarist and drummer Drakh and guitarist and bassist Scorn. A demo a year later, entitled Into Endless Chaos, was missing Drakh ostensibly part of the German military-industrial complex. It was distributed by someone called Chanteloup Creations.The Red Eye Of Wrath was the 1998 demo’s name. A rehearsal featuring Drakh was spread before the Czech Republic-based Nhaavah issued a split release. Trident Trinity was a split with Deathcult also based in Germany and featuring Drakh and Scorn.
< br /> Germany’s own Sombre Records signed the act and issued an album simply called 666. Drummer M.K. was Scorn’s brother. Katharsis and Black Witchery shared a release in 2002. Then it was 2003 and time for a new full-length. The line-up had remained stable. Scorn contributed lyrics to Watain’s Casus Luciferi album in 2003.

Antaeus and Katharsis shared a delayed split release in 2009 owing to the former band’s line-up upheaval and the act had an LP appropriately called Fourth Reich before the band bit the dust. Amazingly, the line-up had remained stable. The black metal band The Nekromancer was a follow-up act.
