The Meads of Asphodel was a project conceived by Metatron in 1998 who envisaged a unique myriad of colliding musical styles tethered to a Black Metal spine. Metatron had been in contact with Jaldaboath for a few years prior and after explaining the direction and sound the project required, the band was born.
Jaldaboaths skills with Guitars, Bass, Keyboards and Drums enabled the first demo’ The Bemoaning of Metatron’ to be unleashed.
The demo was well received in the underground, and more surprisingly gained positive press in mainstream publications like Kerrang! And Terrorizer.
It was from this first glimpse of the bands music that Supernal Music began initial interest in the band.

The use of ritual psychoactive mushrooms is employed to take the bands perception of music to a distorted level.

The second demo ‘Metatron and the Red Gleaming Serpent’ was release in 1999, and featured the first of the bands epic tracks, the ten minute ‘Death and Darkness’.
The music was more medieval influenced and the arrangements more complex.
The third and final demo ‘The Watchers of Catal Huyuk’ appeared in late 1999, and was voted demo of the month in Kerrang!, as well as receiving blazing reviews in the underground and beyond.
