Formed after Purulent Obduction changed its name in early 1993, although they didn't change their death/doom metal style until Gaamalzagoth joined in mid-1993 and the band transitioned towards a faster black/death metal sound. In January 1994, Count Damien Nightsky and Lord Asmoday were kicked out and went on to form Andras while the remaining members continued as Moonblood after releasing the last Demoniac demo (a compilation of earlier recordings) that was recorded still together in late 1993.
