Gorath
was spawned by F. Dupont as a one man project in 1995. The first
year only brought forth a worthless tape. The songs on “A Winter
Slavery” would never be exposed.
The next years Gorath shot down its existence and returned with
“Haunting the December chords” in 2003. From that date on S.
Vranckx joined as a lead singer. The same year Eyes of the Dead
Productions released “Haunting the December chords” again as
a split CD with the band TOD. One year later, in 2004 to be
specific, another split was set. On “The blueprints for revolution”
Gorath formed an alliance with pagan black metal band Theudho.
And some years later F. Dupont would also join Theudho on bass.
Haarbn Productions re-released both demos on a digipack in 2007.
The split resulted in a deal with Black Owl Records. It didn't
take long for “Elite” being recorded and released in early 2005.
Only this time F. Dupont did the vocals himself.
Two years later "Elite" was pressed on vinyl by Fog of the Apocalypse
(Nachtfalke, Dark Fortress, Astrofaes,…).
In 2006 Gorath swapped label and signed to Descent Productions
(Ikuinen Kaamos, Cor Scorpii, Mar De Grises,…). "The fourth
era" became a masterpiece in cosmological black metal, a concept
solely based on Mayan science, history and foretold 2012 prophecies.
From then on Gorath hit the road, assisted by Zahrim (Panchrysia)
and G. Devenster (Panchrysia, ex-Leng Tch'E, ex-Aborted) on
guitars and K. De Leener (Suhrim) on drums, Gorath played gigs
in Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Germany. They shared
the stage with Dark Funeral, Gallhammer, Skitliv, Secrets of
the Moon, Heidevolk, Dimension F3H, Shining and some more.
Its successor "Misotheism" had given birth to a whole new concept:
heresy throughout history, mythology, legend and lore.
