Azaroth, BLACK METAL MELODIC HISTORY IN THE MAKING, recalling back to the endings of the millenium JOSE GRAJALES (FORMER GUITAR PLAYER), has a break through and an idea, dream which he will fulfill the greatest BLACK METALIC musical group of his life. With nothing to lose but just one dream to acomplish, as he begins his project he finds all members needed but lacking all METALIC elements.
After one year of search no hope was coming through until one day at a BLACK METALIC concert he meets ALFREDO HERNANDEZ (FORMER DRUMMER), which by luck was in the process of fulfill his own dream being the same dream of JOSE GRAJALES. Doing this they both take one step deeper into the development of AZAROTH.
Practice, practice, and practice one more element comes to join this great BLACK MELODIC band, MILTON HERRERA (FORMER BASS PLAYER).
