[edit] History

Forming in 1999, under the name of Azazel, the band released a promo entitled "Forever Heaven Gone" and a mCD entitled "Order of the Fly". Azazel then began to play shows in the state of Florida. After their original drummer quit, Azazel rotated drummers, eventually settling on a drummer known as Hellspawn. In 2000, a split CD was recorded with fellow Black Metallers Krieg, and the band changed their name to the current moniker, Kult ov Azazel. That same month, they released a promo, entitled "Of Evil and Hatred". They were signed by Arctic Music shortly thereafter. Hellspawn faded from the band, and Vetis had become their live drummer. The band then set to record, at this time without a drummer, "Triumph of Fire", their first LP. Later in 2001, the band incorporated a permanent drummer, John Goss a.k.a. Hammer, and a second guitarist, Nocturath, into their line-up. As of 2006, their line-up consists of Xul (Bobby Mulligan)on bass and vocals, Xaphan (Julian Hollowell) on guitar and vocals, Hammer (John Goss) on drums, and Necrol (Mike Lawson) on guitar.
