The band began in late 1995, when drummer Matthias and guitarist Sathonys got together to assemble a black metal band. They put adverts at several music magazines in the hopes that they would find suitable musicians to play with them. In answer to the advertisement, they were joined by bassist Marko Thomas and keyboardist and vocalist Vlad Dracul. The last member of their initial formation was the second guitarist, Hyperion, who joined them by the end of that year. With this formation the band recorded the Carpe Noctem demo tape, which received fair reviews from the German specialized press. It also attracted the attention of one of Century Media’s executivies, who began keeping track of the band.
Agathodaimon then proceeded to play minor gigs and support some european bands. Eventually, they received an offer from Century Media to fund the recording of their second demo. This demo was recorded in early 1997 and was named Near Dark. It attracted the interest of quite a few recording labels, and in the end the band opted to sign with Nuclear Blast.
After successfully composing the songs for their debut album Blacken the Angel, one of the members of Agathodaimon, Vlad, was forced to quit the band due to problems with immigration. Being a native from Romania, the local authorities from his country didn’t allow him to go back to Germany. The situation involved the fact that he had left the country during Ceauşescu’s reign. The band therefore was forced to make use of guest musicians to record their debut.

At first children played quite good music, but then turned to a gothic style. It is a pity...

and for me your opinion about bands is unnecessary and ridiculous, while Phoenix and Serpent's Embrace both are still monotonous as fuck. http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1939/44765198.jpg :3 i also couldn't "fail trying to judge objectively", as i haven't even been trying. where is your god now?

Arguing about bands is so fucking unnecessary and some kind of ridiculous. For me, Phoenix is a great album and it's definetely NOT monotnous Oo "Naglfar blabla", if some ppl like this band more than your damn Naglfar, then it is the way it is, period. Tastes are different and you fucking fail with trying to judge "objectively" about this band.
