In the year of 1988 "Angelkill" was born to the underground after Singer/Guitarist Blakk was disgusted with the local band scene of the time; and decided to create his own one man band creating Fate, Venom, Death, and Alice Cooper to name just a few.
For the first few years Blakk recruited local Drummers to help record the first few roughly produced demo tapes. It wasn't until the summer of 1992 when Blakk was finally able to construct the first full band line up consisting of long time friend Steve Swyers along with guitarist friend and neighbor Mike Kore.
Soon came underground friend and percussionist extraordinaire Brett Fugate. He brought with him the odd but extremely talented Bassist, Norm Sales. In 1993 Angelkill released the first full length album
"Garden of Crosses". This debut would get much attention in the metal underground.
In 1994 Angelkill went through various line up changes which would introduce the talented Jeff Olson who would write and produce the next four albums throughout the next few years and undergo several line up changes for the rest of the band. Angelkill recruited long time friend and guitarist Darin Sutton as well as Jeff's brother John Olson on bass. Brett Fugate would still continue on drums. In late 1996/97 Angelkill finally found the well seasoned talents of bassist Bruce Duncan, guitarist Karl Luethman and drummer John Lord who all brought to the band experience as well as a solid line up.
In late 1999 Angelkill took a long hiatus and reformed with the same line up except for replacing John Olson with Drummer, Jason Hasse.
