Aries created Black Dementia in 1997, and was soon joined by Pandora to form a duet of intense and lyrical Black Metal. They released in 1998 the first version of their debut demo “Sortiarius, Of Heathendom Born…”. Unsatisfied by too slow a pace, they made a new version of that demo in 1999, which received a good response from European fanzines, and in 2000 Black Dementia released a second demo tape entitled “Carmina Diabolica”, with the same features as the previous demo: fast-paced Black Metal with a soprano voice, displaying though a deeper textual approach to Luciferian doctrines.

As the band got more and more attention, especially in their home country France, the need for a real drummer instead of the drum machine previously used became more present. So after the arrival of Drakhian as a guitarist and Necrose as a bassist right after the recording of “Carmina Diabolica” in 2000, Morten from Denmark joined forces to complete the line-up of Black Dementia.

As a quintet, the band recorded their third demo “Proxima Thule” in 2001, a strong expression of will to enlightenment and purification, participated to several compilations, and got a deal with the French underground label Aura Mystique Productions.

In late september 2004, “Hyperborean Call”, Black Dementia's first Mini CD, should be released, followed by a full length on the same record label.

The French-Danish horde is currently working on the new tracks that will appear on their promising first album…
