FORMED IN 1997 AS JUST "ARKHAM", ARKHAM'S GOAL WAS TO CREATE HEAVY, OLD SCHOOL THRASH METAL WITH ELEMENTS OF HARDCORE, DEATH METAL, DOOM, SPEED METAL AND CLASSIC METAL. SHORTLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THEIR 1ST DEMO, THEY GOT AN OFFER TO RECORD BOTH, A 7" SINGLE, A FULL LENGTH CD, AND A SUPPORT SPOT ON A EUROPEAN TOUR WITH CLEANSER & CHEMICAL (ITALY).

THE 1998 EUROPEAN TOUR WAS BOTH A SUCCESS AND A DISASTER @ THE SAME TIME. BOTH THE CD AND 7" WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELASED BEFORE THE TOUR WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN AND BAD PROMOTION FORCED US TO LEAVE THE TOUR A LITTLE EARLY, WHICH SUCKED, BUT THE 20 SHOWS WE DID DO WERE GREAT AND MET ALOT OF GREAT PEOPLE.

AFTER RETURING FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR OUR DEBUT 7" "BORN WITH SCARS" WAS RELEASED THROUGH GAIN GROUND RECORDS IN A LIMITYED PRESSING OF 1500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES, THESE SOLD OUT IN 1 1/2 WEEKS AND WENT TO 2 ON THE JAPANESE INDEPENDENT CHARTS.

THE THE RELEASE OF OUR DEBUT CD "THE WRATH" WAS RELEASED THROUGH DARK EMINANCE IN THE U.S. AND ACRID IN EUROPE, THE CD SOLD FAST DUE TO THE EUOPEAN TOUR AND OUR KILLER LIVE SHOW.

AFTER PLAYING TONS OF SHOWS ARKHAM ADDED "13" TO THEIR NAME TO BECOME "ARKHAM 13" DUE TO MANY BANDS ALREADY USING THE ARKHAM NAME, AND BEGAN WRITING FOR THEIR NEXT CD.

THE NEW MATERIAL WAS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE AND MORE BRUTAL THAN BEFORE AND THE STRUCTURES OF THE SONGS WERE BECOMING MORE INVOLVED.

FILLED WITH HATE RECORDS SHOWED INTEREST IN A-13 AND RELEASED OUR LATEST CD "BORN TO BRING DEATH". THIS CD BROUGHT FORTH OUR MOST BRUTAL MUSIC YET. PURE SPEEDEATHRASHARDCORE MADNESS!!! A KILLER LAYOUT, KILLER SONGS BONUS LIVE TRAX AND SICK COVERS OF VENOM "WARHEAD" AND EXCITER "POUNDING METAL".

ALSO DURING THIS TIME THEY HAD SO MUCH MATERIAL WRITTEN THE ALSO RECORED A CDS WORTH OF NEW MATERIAL & RE-RECORDINGS FOR ANOTHER CD RELEASE ENTITLED "BLOODFIEND" WITH A BRAND NEW U.S. LABEL, THIS LABEL NEVER RELEASED THE CD AND WAS PUT ASIDE A FEW OTHER LABELS OFFERED TO PUT IT OUT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.

BUT NOW HELL'S TONE RECORDS HAS OFFERED TO FINALLY RELEASE THE CLASSIC "BLOODFIEND"CD. THIS IS BY FAR OUR BEST RELEASE TO DATE, OUR BEST SONGS, AND A KILLER RECORDING!!! LOOK FOR IT TO COME OUT MARCH/APRIL 2009!!!
