Azaghal was formed in 1995 by guitarist Narqath and drummer Kalma (later known as Vrtx and V-Khaoz). Varjoherra joined the horde as a vocalist in 1997. First demo was recorded shortly after that in late 1997. 2 more demos ("Noituuden Torni" and "Kristinusko Liekeissä" were recorded in 1998, as well as the debut 7" EP "Harmagedon" which was released by Aftermath Music.

The debut full-length "Mustamaa" was released in summer 1999 by Melancholy Productions (later known as ISO666). The album was originally released only on limited vinyl (300 copies), but was later re-released also on CD by ISO666. Only few months later the second full-length was recorded, titled "Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä". The first 2 albums featured mostly re-recorded demo material, thus the quick space between the recordings and releases. "Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä" came out on Brazilian Evil Horde Records in December 1999. The year 2000 saw the releases of couple of split CD's, "Helwettiläinen" 7" and a collection of rare & demo tracks "Deathkult MMDCLXVI". Azaghal tracks from the two split CD's (with Mustan Kuun Lapset and Beheaded Lamb) were also released on 12" vinyl called "Ihmisviha" by Blut & Eisen. In early 2001 JL Nokturnal (who had appeared on most of the earlier releases as a session member) joined Azaghal as a lead guitarist / bassist and we recorded our third full-length album "Of Beasts and Vultures" in March 2001. After some delays "Of Beasts and Vultures" was finally released over a year later in spring 2002. After this album founding member and drummer V-Khaoz was kicked out of the band because of increasing conflicts both on a personal and musical level.

In 2002-2003 Azaghal recorded more material for split releases and signed a deal with already familiar Aftermath Music for the release of a MCD and new full-length. The result was the limited "Kyy" MCD and our most raw and nihilistic album to date, "Perkeleen Luoma". These two releases were also released as 2LP by Finnish Hammer of Hate. We didn't feel the need to find a new drummer at this time, so these releases were recorded with a drum machine (aka Unhuman Warmachine) to give the recordings colder and more unhuman atmosphere. After nearly 10 years of existence and a very negative approach towards gigs the whole time, they finally decided to start playing live in 2004, so TM Blastbeast (aka Teemu Mutka, ex-Deep Red, Nerlich etc.) was brought in to handle the drums. Their first live appearance was at the Under The Black Sun Festival in Germany in summer 2004. They have played random gigs since then. Later in 2004 the band signed with their current label Avantgarde Music, and recorded probably the album "Codex Antitheus". In support of this they played a few more gigs in 2005 (in Switzerland and Italy). In 2006 Azaghal recorded the second album for Avantgarde Music, "Luciferin Valo". This album saw more of a back to basics approach both in simplified song writing and rawer production. After the recordings they replaced TM Blastbeast behind the drums with Chernobog (also in Kingdom of Agony). Two years later Varjoherra declared that he didn't have time anymore to play gigs and to record albums furthermore, so he was replaced by Niflungr with whom he also has started another project called Black Blessing. Henceforward Niflungr is doing the job as a singer, but the one does not preclude that Vorjaherra isn't still part of the band. In 2008 "Omega" sees the light of day via Moribund Records in Europe and via Paranoid Records in Brazil. Simply one year later Azaghal recorded another album, called "Teraphim" on which was published a new version of their classic "Kyy".//wikipedia.org
