Azazel

Azazel is a Finnish black metal group from Mänttä-Vilppula, active from 1992. The band forms around Lord Satanachia and Samiaza, who leave an earlier death metal band to start Azazel. A separate recording made with Lord Satanachia, Kalle Sipola and Rotting Jesus is described as an unreleased demo that is said to combine death metal and industrial metal.

Releases

The group’s first released demo is Crucify The Jesus Christ Again in 1993, followed by the MCD The Night Of Satanachia in 1995. It later issues the split release Azazel / Goatmoon in 2011 and three full-length albums: Jesus Perversions, Witches Deny Holy Trinity and Aegrum Satanas Tecum.

Style

Azazel is identified with Finnish black metal. The band’s recorded output places it within underground black metal, with titles and themes that draw heavily on anti-Christian and Satanic imagery.
