Agathodaimon is a melodic black metal band from Germany - formed in 1995. They have ever since been credible for parts of the underground Gothic movement in Germany along with bands such as Ancient Ceremony and Dorn. They have a strong influence from Dark Wave piano and a finesse of superior double bass accenting, utilization of variational power chord mixtures between two guitars, Gothic-influenced female vocals and evil, ghost whispers from Sathonys. In the long run, they are a very known for their over-all band achievements and fade away from the “one-man” approach.
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.

Okay jesus doesn’t want you to listen to this type of music anymore.... in fact he said that if you do he will personally stick his dick in the mashed potato and then feed it to you, just before you go to hell. It’s your choice my friend. Is your favourite band really worth it? so what do yoo think

I likle their older stuff best, but in any case this band is fantastic, and severely underrated. Blacken The Angel and Higher Art Of Rebellion are masterpieces.

"I stiil cant understand why bands use sex screams of women in its songs" I assume they do it to give a lustful atmosphere to the music. Its not always stupid, sometimes it fits the concept, specially when the band uses vampirism as the lyrical theme.
