The band released their first demo, Surgically Hacked, through Amputated Vein Records in the same year. This was followed by their debut full-length album, Incisions of Perverse Debauchery (2008) via Grindhead Records. Age of Onset (2009), was released through Comatose Records and helped the band gain wider recognition, eventually leading to a contract with Victory Records.

On July 6, 2010, Pathology released Legacy of the Ancients, an album that received critical acclaim and marked a significant milestone in their career. The band embarked on extensive tours with notable acts such as Nile, Immolation, Vader, Obituary, Deicide, and Deströyer 666, among others. However, in November 2010, a serious van accident forced the band to pause their activities. During this time, original vocalist Matti Way was replaced by Jonathan Huber (formerly of I Declare War), and guitarist Tim Tiszczenko was replaced by Kevin Schwartz.

In May 2011, Pathology announced plans to enter Lambesis Studios in the summer with producer Daniel Castleman to begin work on a new full-length album, which was expected to be released in the fall. The band also confirmed a U.S. tour supporting Grave and Blood Red Throne, set to begin in August 2011.

On September 25, 2012, Pathology released The Time of Great Purification, which would become their most popular album to date. By December 18, 2012, the band had completed their three-album contract with Victory Records and announced the return of both Matti Way and Tim Tiszczenko to the band. Additionally, the band revealed they would release their next album through their own label, Sevared Records, in 2013. In the same year, vocalist Jonathan Huber left the band, citing disagreements over touring plans.

On September 3, 2013, Pathology released Lords of Rephaim, their seventh full-length album. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the band followed up with Throne of Reign, released on August 5, 2014.

On May 12, 2017, Pathology announced the release of their self-titled ninth album, which came out on July 21, 2017, along with the debut single, “Lamentation”. In February 2018, the band announced the addition of Riley McShane (of Allegaeon) as the new vocalist, alongside guitarist Daniel Richardson. However, by May 22, 2018, McShane had departed the band, and was replaced by Clayton Meade. On July 30, 2018, the band revealed that Obie Flett, who had been in the band previously in 2010, would return as the vocalist.

On May 24, 2019, Pathology announced their tenth album, Reborn to Kill, which was released on August 9, 2019.

On August 27, 2021, Pathology signed with Nuclear Blast and announced their eleventh studio album, The Everlasting Plague, which was released on November 19, 2021. The album’s first single, “Engaging in Homicide,” was also released around this time.

On March 26, 2024, the band announced their twelfth album, Unholy Descent, set for release on May 17, 2024. They also debuted the song “Cult of the Black Triangle.”

In August 2024, the band announced that guitarist Daniel Richardson would be leaving for personal reasons, with Kevin Schwartz returning to the lineup. Schwartz, a fan favorite, had previously played on Awaken to the Suffering and The Time of Great Purification.
