History
[edit | edit source]Arkon Infaustus was created in late 1997 by Dk Deviant, joined by Torturer.[1][2] They first released an EP entitled In Sperma Infernum through Mordgrimm, which was limited to 666 copies. They then signed to Spikekult Records and released another EP entitled Dead Cunt Maniac in 2000.[2] This got them signed to Osmose Productions.[2] Their first album, Hell Injection, was released in 2001 and limited to 500 copies. After their second album, Filth Catalyst (2002), they toured with Mortician.[3] They then went on to do a split with the black metal band Revenge, and toured in Europe with Vader.
In 2004 they released Perdition Insanabilis and toured Europe with Deicide,[2][4] and again in 2005 with Belphegor and In Aeternum.[5] In 2007, they released an EP, Annunciation, and an album, Orthodoxyn, and in April and May 2008 toured Europe with Angelcorpse.[6]
In 2017, the band came back releasing an EP, Passing the Nekromanteion.[7]
Musical style
[edit | edit source]Arkhon Infaustus use distorted raspy vocals, double bass, and synthesizers to play a style of black/death metal similar to that of Angelcorpse. Their lyrics usually deal with Satanism, sex, anti-Christianity, and general acts of debauchery.
