History & Biography
Founded by Linas Karalius, Tomas Rimkus, Rytis Tankevicius and Marius Berenis in January 1992, this band made a name for itself through good timing and some actual promotion by its members and manager Sekla. The act disbanded, however, and the members partly decamped to ŽAS.

Under The Aegis Of Darkness was a 1992 demo. The group appeared at the Death Comes 2 show in 1992. The act also travelled to Poland for the S’thrash’Ydlo Fest where Morgoth, Vader and Disharmonic Orchestra were playing. Born In The Coffin was a 1993 demo. It was recorded twice because the band disliked the first recording attempt at a different studio. The band did keep the track Kingdom Of Mandragora however. Bomba Records of Lithuania distributed 1,300 copies of this demo tape. Several shows occurred in Germany. Drummer Juodas had come and left. For Flinging Souls was the next tape. MMI put three tracks on a 7” and called it Touched By Thanat. This was a first for a Lithuanian metal band and a foreign label. The group shot a video for the song Guillotine.

Drummer Linas left in late 1993. The band reported that the drummer would not work on his drumming technique. Smarve of Ghostorm replaced him. Smarve replaced his predecessor on stage at Death Comes 3 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The planned Forbidden Tears 7” further repackaged material and appeared through Shiver Records in 1995. It had been due in March 1994. By this time the band was history.

Born In The Coffin and more demo material were re-released by Huangquan Records of China in 2020.

The band called its style sullen death. Regredior means ‘regression’ in Latin and was conjured to drive away spirits.
