Inspired by blasphemous and blackened metal, KULT OV AZAZEL spit forth  their hate towards humanity and religion. The unholy birth cries were first  heard in 1999, under the infernal name of Azazel. Hailing from South  Florida, Xaphan and Xul decided to join  forces, marching relentlessly towards a  shared destiny with a grim vision.

June of 2000 marked a turning point for  the entity formerly known simply as  Azazel. The horde decided to distance  themselves from other bands using the  same name, and re-anointed  themselves as Kult ov Azazel. After the  1999 release of the mCD "Order of the  Fly" and various split CD’s, which  established Kult ov Azazel as an  unstoppable force upon the US Black Metal, they signed with Arctic Music  Group, ensuring them proper distribution and a good budget with which to  create their debut full length. In April of 200l, the much anticipated full  length was released. "Triumph of Fire”, an 11 hymn manifesto of evil and misanthropy that lived up to the motto "No Beauty, No Atmosphere, No Tranquility".

In 2002, a decision was made to incorporate a second guitarist along with finally securing a permanent drummer after numerous studio/live fill-ins. With the line up of Xaphan (guitar/vocals), Xul (bass/vocals), Nocturath (guitar) and Hammer (drums),  in the month of March 2003 Kult ov  Azazel released their second full-length  “Oculus Infernum” which proved to be a  testimony of pure anti-christian hatred  and blasphemy.

2004 saw Nocturath take leave from the  band and would be replaced by VJS  whom first appeared with the group when  they co-headlined the Northern Lights Festival in Toronto, Canada.  November of the same year, Kult ov Azazel embarked on The Swarm of  Eternal Blackness Tour, a successful West Coast assault. Upon return they  immediately entered Nuclear Soundlabs and recorded tracks for two splits “Feast of Sacrilegious Impurity” and “Through War or Suicide”.

In February of 2005 the band entered Mana Studios in Tampa Florida and recorded “The World, The Flesh & The Devil”. After its release the album gained top reviews many claiming it as the bands best material and as one of the top black metal releases in 2005. To support this release the band took their blasphemies out on the road on the Hellstorm of Unholy Legions Tour.

On completion of the tour the services of VJS were rendered. In December  2005 that void was replaced with Necrol. As this lineup Kult ov Azazel  appeared in 2006 at the Sacrifice of the Nazarene Child 6 Festival, Night of  the Black Pentecost and one Ft. Lauderdale, FL show securing the local slot  for the Celtic Frost "Monotheist" tour.

During the summer of 2007, a decision was made to take Kult ov Azazel  back to its original form keeping the core of the band a 3 piece while  utilizing session members for live occasions. The band has recently recorded their fourth and final release for Arctic Music titled Destroying the Sacred at Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida. North American release date is 06/02/2009. As of January 2009 founding member/main songwriter Xaphan has started writing new material while the band hunts for a new label.
