Biography

It was the unholy year 1989, when four black priests created Varathron's kingdom! In October of 1989 the first demo tape called "Procreation of the Unaltered Evil" was released, featuring two infernal hymns coming from the depths of the abyss. In December of 1989 the black song called "The great seal of Graal" was recorded.

In 1991 the second demo "Genesis of Apocryphal Desire" was released with a new line-up.

Amonth later Black Vomit records released Varathron's EP called "One Step Beyond Dreams".

In the year 1992 Black Power records released the split LP of Varathron& NECROMANTIA named "Black Arts Lead to Everlasting Sins". Again the line-up had changed, this time into its most blasphemic form.

The four unholy priests did their work for the new and most obscure and abyssic material, which is more mystic and occult than ever before, to appear on their first CD/MC for the Cyber Music label. The CD/MC entitled "His majesty at the swamp" was released in October 1993.

In 1994 the Greek label Unisound records released their split LP on CD which includes their 7" EP as bonus!

In 1995 the same label released a masterpiece of Darkness, the second full-length CD of Varathron, called "Walpurgisnacht". Now the band is working on their third album with the mostly possible title "Crow's Reign: Psalms from the feathered King's court".

fter years of silence and a change in the band (new keyboardist and a new permanent drummer)  returned with two new releases and a song in a Mercyful Fate tribute. In 1997 the compilation Genesis of Apocryphal Desire was released. This CD contains the first two demos in their entirety plus three unreleased songs. Also the band did a cover of Mercyful Fate's Nuns have no fun that appears in the Mercyful Fate tribute released by Still Dead productions.

n 1999 the time had come for new material to be released: Four new esoteric, black-souled songs plus Nuns have no fun have been released on the mCD The Lament Of Gods released by Pagan records.
