Azarath is a Polish death metal band from Tczew, formed in 1998.
Azarath was formed in October 1998 by Inferno, Bruno and D. The band then recorded their first demos, Traitors and Destroy Yourself. After being joined by Bart and completing the lineup, the band then played many shows to support the demos and eventually wrote and recorded their debut album, Demon Seed, in Hertz Studio. The album was met with positive reviews and good response, which got the band an invitation from Polish death metal band Vader to be a supporting act for Vader's Revelations Tour in 2002.
In late August 2003, the band recorded their second album, Infernal Blasting, in Hendrix Studio. Like the first album, it was met with a positive response from critics and fans. After the recording session for the album, D. left the band because of personal reasons. The band eventually found a second guitarist, Trufel, from the band Yattering, and began touring to promote new album.
Between June and August 2006, the band recorded their newest album, Diabolic Impious Evil, at Hendrix Studio and Hertz Studio. The album was released on September 16, 2006. After the release of the album, the band started touring in the Blitzkrieg 4 tour, supporting Vader, along with Vesania and Trauma. In November 2007, the band played the Legions of Death Attack Tour in Poland with Adam Sierzega on drums, the former drummer of Lost Soul, together with Stillborn and Deception.
In October 2008, the band signed a new deal with Agonia Records upon release of their forthcoming fourth studio album, Praise the Beast, which was released as a standard CD, LP and limited digipak with bonus tracks. At around the same time, the band signed with American record label Deathgasm Records for a standard CD release for the North American territory. The album was released on May 25, 2009. The band played several festivals to support the album, including the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo in April, the Devilstone Fest in Lithuania in June, and the PartySan Fest in Germany in August 2009. Later on, for eleven days during September and October 2009, the band (along with Hermh and Black River) supported Behemoth on their Polish "Evangelion" tour. After the tour, Bruno decided to leave the band and focus on his private life. The band continued on with Necrosodom, from the bands Anima Damnata, Thunderbolt, and Throneum, as the new bass player and vocalist.
