DAEMONLORD was born in summer of 2000. Kepa was the only one behind the band, so immediately contacted with Sixto to help him with the vocals. They released their first demo entitled Unsacred Soul in late 2000. They spread over 450 copies. Then SATANACHIA & HADES PRODS. from Portugal showed their interest in re-releasing this demo with an extra track in an edition limited to 300 copies. After studying a few offers and being betrayed by some bastards, WOLF RECORDS released their second demo, "As Bastard As God", limited to 350 copies. Later on, the band accepted an offer of releasing this stuff as a Split-CD, which was released in spring 2002 through DOWNFALL RECORDS.
Since autumn 2001 it was planned to release a debut full-length album with the help of the German Promo-Company MEDUSA PRODUCTIONS to spread the name of DAEMONLORD and to distribute their debut world-wide. It saw the light in May 2002. That same year, the band changed their moniker from DEMONLORD to DAEMONLORD, because (as so often) another band with the same name already existed.
After releasing their debut album, a double-split-LP with PERDITOR, NECROCULT and GOAT SEMEN was scheduled for October/November 2002. Although Sixto was initially going to be in charge of the vocals for that vinyl, finally he had to leave the band due to lack of time. Anyway he contributed with his lyrics. Finally, Egnar Blasphemy from the Basque band OMINOUS (RIP) started to sing in DAEMONLORD. The label didn't like the new DAEMONLORD sound, much rawer and darker than before, so this release was cancelled.
In late 2002, DAEMONLORD released a 7EP through KETZER RECORDS. The single was recorded on September 2002.
After sending promo stuff to some labels to release the music that was originally recorded for the double-split LP, KETZER RECORDS showed their interest again, wanting to release this stuff as a 12"MLP for summer 2003. Before this WOLF RECORDS had already released it as a Cass-EP with 2 tracks less in a limited edition to 200 copies. SLAVA PROD. also did another tape version.
In October 2003 the band started the recording of Of War And Hate. In December 2003 the album was finished. Without delay the band started to send promos. Finally the album was released by HEAVEN ABLAZE RECORDS in March 2004 and later on pro-tape by SLAVA PRODS. After the album DAEMONLORD started working on new stuff. A deal with a Portuguese label was achieved to release a new 7"EP, but due to their untrustworthy attitude (aka RIP-OFFS), the band tried to find other label for that release, finally finding the right support in NECROMANCER RECORDS. This 7"EP was titled "Coil Of Devastation" and was released in December 2004.
During that period other releases were planned, a 4 way split-cd with LUX FERRE, MORTINATUM & MALLEUS and a new split 7"EP with Key Of Mythras, both were in February 2005.
After "Of War And Hate" being nearly sold out a re-release was planned through KETZER RECORDS, this re-release was remastered at NECROMORBUS STUDIOS and was out in February 2005.
In May 2005 the band did their first shows ever in a European Tour called "Total Annihilation Over Europe 2005" together with CIRITH GORGOR and LUX FERRE. They played during 9 nights in different countries such as Germany, Austria, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland.
The band took some months to prepare their new album, and recorded in October 2005. They mixed in a professional studio in January 2006, and will be out in September 2006 through KETZER RECORDS.
During the first months of 2006 the band recorded four new tracks for a Split-cd with colombian SATANIZER. This Split was out in May 2006 thorugh GOATHORNED PRODUCTIONS. After some delays the third album came out in September 2006, the tittle choosen was "Hellfire Centuries" and was released under the banner of KETZER RECORDS. A tape also was done by OLD CEMETERY RECORDS.
