The uncompromising pure Black Metal act BLACK WITCHERY evolved from the early 90's act IRREVERENT. By 1996 the band had retitled itself WITCHERY. A further title change occurred in 1999 as BLACK WITCHERY was adopted.
The 2000 album ‘Hellstorm of evil vengeance' was a shared affair with Canadian act CONQUEROR. As part of their contribution BLACK WITCHERY cut a cover of BLASPHEMY's ‘Demoniac'. BLACK WITCHERY have also contributed versions of SLAYER's ‘Fight Till Death' to a Dwell Records tribute album and KREATOR's ‘Tormentor' for a Fullmoon tribute affair.

Guitarist Tregenda (Steve Childers) participated in the BURNING INSIDE project in collusion with renowned ICED EARTH, DEMONS & WIZARDS, DEATH, CONTROL DENIED and INCANTATION drummer Richard Christy and fellow axeman Michael Estes from famed Black Metal merchants ACHERON.

Drummer Vaz would deputize for BLOOD STORM's appearances the 2002 'Destruction' festivals in New York and New Jersey. The debut album 'Desecration of the Holy Kingdom' would be re-issued by the Nuclear War Now! label in mid 2002 in a lavish, if strictly limited, vinyl format. Clad in all new Chris Moyen artwork the record was restricted to just 1000 copies included two bonus cover version tracks with which came new inserts, poster and stickers. The very first 100 pressings were manufactured in clear vinyl.

BLACK WITCHERY signed to the French Osmose Productions label in mid 2002. A split 7" EP 'Recorded Live Under The Sign Of Hell' shared with Germany's KATHARSIS included a rendition of BATHORY's 'Sadist'.
