...The Early Years...

IMPIETY's diabolical birth began in January 1990 with: Shyaithan (bass/vocals), XXXul (guitars) and Iblyss (battery) under heavy influences early BATHORY, SARCOFAGO, early POSSESSED, early MORBID ANGEL and BLASPHEMY. IMPIETY recorded and released a 5 song promo tape in 1992 entitled "Ceremonial Necrochrist Redesecration", despite it's low sound production, it was positively received and praised very well in the metal underground worldwide.

In 1993, IMPIETY signed to SHIVADARSHANA .. XXXul , left the band & in came Leprophiliac Rex. The band's first diabolical release with Shivadarshana Records was the "Salve the Goat ... Iblis Excelsi" 2 song 7" single in 94'. IMPIETY had improved technically in achieving a better production sound and also their own sadistic hell art of barbaric Black Death! The response to the single was overwhelming and all 3000 copies have been sold with 500 licensed to Fudgeworthy Records (U.S.), released on limited marble-vinyl. The 2 different pressings of this diabolical 7"EP are not available any more!

After the 7" release , a 4th member Abyydos was recruited to give IMPIETY a full fuckin' powerful, hellish sound. Abyydos took control of all lead/rhythm guitars, Leprophiliac Rex (bass), Iblyss (battery) and Shyaithan (vocals) . And with this line-up, "Asateerul Awaleen", the quartet's debut CD album of 8 fucking Black witching HellMetal tracks, under Shivadarshana was recorded in mid 95' and released in mid 96'. "Asateerul Awaleen" sold out all 4000 copies pressed in a digipak format and the response (reviews) from major magazines were more than satisfying!

IMPIETY also recorded a 5-song MCD entitled "Funeralight..." due for release early 1997, exculsively once again by Shivardarshana. But Shivadarshana shut down, and so the MCD was never pressed . However a Limited edition Cassette-EP of 2500 copies was pressed by an independant label Ultra~Hingax Productions from Malaysia. All copies were quickly sold out in S.E.Asia alone. Ultra~Hingax Productions never had good distribution channels worldwide and so there was much disappointment to IMPIETY's hellhordes, as "Funeralight..." never did see the light in Europe/US at all.

Just shortly after the "Funeralight..." recording, Shyaithan kicked Iblyss out after a dispute & at the same time, Abyydos had to leave as he had been called into the Army. Frontman Shyaithan, appointed new, demonlords to the line up... namely Fyraun and Dajjal. Fyraun (guitars) was quick to learn all songs of IMPIETY and so was Dajjal (battery), both had been long playing in various Black/Death metal outfits prior to joining.

The band immediately started delivering Live shows with the new lineup and all shows generated excellent response from truest of barbarians, legions, warmongering fans and press alike.

Armageddon 1999

IMPIETY recorded their most savage album to date "Skullfucking Armageddon". 8 songs of uncompromising apocalyptic speed, bestial metal brutality and savagery. IMPIETY proudly continues its infamous tradition of furious, ultrafast, filthy Black WarMetal. Just after the recording Shyaithan and Fyraun fired Dajjal since he had lost his commitment and dedication towards playing in the band. Dagoth (ex-ABHORER) was recruited. And also Kravnos (ABATTORY) filled in as session on bass during stage holocaust. The band made their debut live appearance in Indonesia.

IRON PEGASUS RECORDS (Germany) exclusively licenced "Skullfucking Armageddon" on limited LP and PICDISC. All of which are sold out!

Also Samhain Recs. (USA) released a kult IMPIETY/PROFANATICA split 7" EP in December of the same year. The IMPIETY sides features one song "DragonOath Diabolus" from the long deleted "Funeralight..." cassette MLP. Only 500 of these bloodred vinyl were pressed. All of these are sold out!

Anno 2000

IMPIETY underwent another serious line-up change when axeman Fyraun was arrested for narcotics (Heroin) on Feb 1st. He was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment. A tragic lost to the band as they were set to extensively tour South East Asia and Europe. But after just a few weeks of hell the band had to battle..Shyaithan successfully recruited 2 new fulltime wardemons. (XXXul on guitars and Demonomancer on bass). XXXul was the same terrorist who played guitars on IMPIETY's '92 demo "C.N.R.". IMPIETY has also made their debut Live appearance in Thailand early 2000. The band also delivered their debut 'Skullfucking Euro Armageddon 2000' in Europe, a 4 date mini tour summer of 2000. 2 months after the band returned from their first successful tour, Dagoth had to leave as he intended to pursue his working career and could not offer the band more time due to a hectic schedule. Dagoth will always be Hailed by IMPIETY for all eternity for his contribution and dedication to the band during his apokalyptik reign of terror! Fauzzt who was from the Black Metal band HAIL was recruited shortly.

IMPIETY delivered their 2nd euro tour..'Skullfucking Euro Battlestorms Tour 2000' in October courtesy of DRAKKAR PRODUCTIONS (France). An extensive 15dates in all, destroying stages in 6 countries! The tour went successfully well! DRAKKAR PROD. also released the re-edition of "Skullfucking Armageddon" remastered and featuring 3 bonus tracks taken from the cruel "Salve the Goat" 7" 1993 and also from "Funeralight" Ep 1997. All copies are sold out!

Anno 2001

IMPIETY signed to OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS for 3 full length assaults! It is during this year that Demonomancer was relieved due to his amounting financial and personal problems. Xxxul decided to leave later in the year. In November 2001, the Mighty Fyraun was released from prison and was once again back in the force!.

Anno 2002

IMPIETY performed with their menthors SODOM in Bangkok! It was but an infernal event indeed! The band also recorded their long awaited New Full length album 3weeks in July 2002 at Berno Studios - Sweden. This album was called 'Kaos Kommand 696'!

Anno 2003

The response from Legions and most mortals worldwide, to 'Kaos Kommand 696', was outstanding! IMPIETY delivered extensive a number of Live infernos and earthquakes across the South East Asian region. Highlights were the stage holocausts in Bangkok at the Annual God Beheading Live Ritual - Thailand, Formoz Open Air Festival - Taiwan and also the Under the Black Sun Festival in Germany! Towards the end of the year, Fauzzt left his position without official word. Fyraun also had to call it day as the band collided with his full time work and family. IMPIETY also left Osmose Productions. Gladfully!

Anno 2004

Shyaithan established an international line-up. Oscar Garcia (drummer from HACAVITZ) and Antimo Buonanno (ex-DISGORGE, lead guitars from HACAVITZ and BLOOD REAPING) joined the Imperial War Command! IMPIETY signed with AGONIA RECORDS for 2 full length releases. With the new line-up IMPIETY recorded 3 songs at Ambox Studio, Mexico in February, released now as "Two Majesties" a Split EP with SURRENDER OF DIVNITY! Cd version and Gatefold Double EP Vinyl version limited to 500 units each!

After this recording, Eduardo Guevara from BLOOD REAPING was added to the line-up. The band recorded their 4th full length album of 8 songs 'Paramount Evil' at Ambox Studios. Right after the recording the band performed a 9 date Mexican Tour that proved to be a success! The band is now planning to perform their Asian tour December 2004.
