Israthoum was formed in ..92 in Portugal under the name of Grendel, by Arvath, Arluth Dhu and Israth, and standing for sick & fast Satanic Grindcore. By this time, two demos were recorded, namely in ..92 (Decapitation) and in ..93 (untitled).
Some time after the bandname became Geryous.
Somewhere between ..97 and ..98 there was a final change of the bandname to Israthoum, and which was shortly followed by a change of residence to the Netherlands (Arluth Dhu and Arvath) and Luxembourg (Israth) respectively.
Agramon joined on keys at the time, and in 2001 the demo ..Hatred.. was released.
This one was followed in 2002 by the MCD ..The Art of Malice... Both releases were self-financed and had a very poor production.
After this, Arluth Dhu relocated back to Portugal, Israth moved to the Netherlands and. By then Charagnanna went from bassist to guitarist and Israth took over the bass.
Israthoum started recording what was supposed to become the first full-length album. It ended up consisting on a mini-album entitled ..Black Scenery Avatar.., and was released in 2004 by S.A.R.S. Productions in a limited amount of 333 copies.
In 2005 Israthoum signed a contract with Merciless Records for the re-release of this mini-album (on both MLP as MCD) and possibly for future releases as well.
Kald finally joined on guitar in 2006.
The next step is the full-length album ..Monument of Brimstone.., which is by now almost recorded.
