[edit] Biography
Formed in 1993 originally under the name Betrayer, the band became popular in the metal scene, their lyrical themes being gore, blasphemy and satanism. Their first album The Last Supper was released by Lethal Records, the two following ones by Last Episode (now known as Black Attakk) which they called a "rip-off label" afterwards. After releasing their live album Infernal Live Orgasm on their own label Phallelujah Productions, they signed on Napalm Records, but as they said afterwards, this label didn’t support them enough and they were "fed up with this respectless treatment" [1]. Now the band has signed on Nuclear Blast and released a new album, Pestapokalypse VI.
In February-March 2007 the band will tour North America with Unleashed, Krisiun and Hatesphere, and will play at the famous Wacken Open Air festival in August.
