Fallen Fortress initiated towards the end of 2003, when Diego Quiroz and Pablo Sánchez decided to form a band, to which they recruited Tomás Guerrero (Guitar) and Vicente Flores (Ex-drums).

Together these 4 members began to play and formed as band, which became "Phantom of Darkness".



As time passed Vicente Flores decided to leave the band and was replaced by Daniel Delgado to start a new style of music more well influenced by Black Metal.

The band began to touch meeting and to the ends of the year 2004 they recruited Oscar Teare who would help them with vocals. Next to Oscar the band began to play live shows leading them to better recognition in the local scene.



As time elapsed, with the formation complete, the band began to show a northern style to its music, which led them to integrate a keyboard player, it was then when Ignacio Cruz joined the band.

With him they continued playing until early 2005, when Ignacio left the band for personal issues. The remaining members decided to also disband Oscar, leaving Diego Quiroz to sing and lead guitar, this became known as Zurk


After playing several live shows over the year, the band matured and would start to be influenced by Death Metal, without leaving to the side Black Metal. It was then when the band recorded their first demo, which would be titled "Earthly Purgatory" which began to be known as Fallen Fortress.
