The idea about Demonism comes up in early 1995, but the real libne up is formed at the end of the year, by the gathering of the two black demons Lord Hades and Lord Mephistophel Umbras Diabolis, who takes up the drums. The bass player is Lord Paganus Sunset. All other instruments are handled by Hades, namely guitars, keyboards and vocals. After several live performances and demo recordings, the trio goes to Graffitti Studio by the end of 1996, to record its first demo album, later entitled 'Saga For The Dark Winter Times'. The band gains popularity in short time, when the song 'Saga for the Coming of Nebulous Winter' is being voted Song of the Month on the famous metal radioshow on the National Radio "Horizon" and wins an award. Later on the song is a runner up in the Hit of the Year chart.
Not before long a new vocalist joins the band, by the name of "The Gnom", and Hades becomes a guitarist / keyboardist. With this line-up the band plays some gigs, among which a glamorous performance on the Summer Chaos Metal Festival in Bourgas in 1997. In the fall of 1997 the band goes in studio to record the successor of 'Saga For The Dark Winter Times', namely the demo 'Into ?he Burning Past'. After the record and a short period of silence, Hades and Mefisto serve a year-long compulsory military service.
In the winter of 1998 the line-up is completed by the arrival of a second guitarist called Claw Morlock and a new bass player, named Arcanus Paragon.
In this line up: Hades - vocals and guitars, Mephisto - drumms, Claw Morlock - guitars and piano, Arcanus Paragon - bass - Demonism composes and records its new album 'Like Tides Into Black in the summer of 2000. One year later it is released by ' Couter Attack Productions'. The band plays many concerts in the country with some metal icons such as: Diabolism, Dark Inversion, Korozy, Ork, Desolate, Necromancer, Foeticide, The Revenge Project, Darkmoon Rising and many others.
In 2002 the band releases a concert album ' In other spaces', which includes two studio songs dropped out of the material for 'Like Tides Into Black', as well as a videoclip to the song "Infinity". After another period of silence, Claw Morlock and Arcanus Paragon leave the band, but the real Demonism continues. Rumours of splitting up start to spread, but in the summer of 2003 Hades and Mephisto enter the Venicom Studio to record 3 new songs. The band is helped out by Stephan - clean vocals and the old fellow Arcanus Paragon.The band plays some shows with Arcanus Paragon on bass. One of the gigs is a performance on the annual festival 'WinteR StormS 2004â€, after which the band decides to continue as a duo - Hades and Mephisto - the core of Demonism. In the fall of 2005 the band signs a deal with ShadowLand Music for releasing its new MCD called 'The Sounds Of Fury'. During the same year Demonism celebrates the 10th anniversary of the band. The event is duly noted by a new album - "Reflections", recorded at the end of 2005 in 'Acoustic Version Studio' in Sofia, released again by ShadowLand Music A limited editions of two CDs is released, entitled 'Ten Years Demonical Wrath'.
