The history of the thrash/blackmetal band IRDORATH starts in 2005.

Markus (guitar)and three other musicians founded the band, the first demo"Erwachen" and the first album "Götterdämmerung" (Label Black Lava Records) were recorded and the first gigs were played. During the following years some personal changes happened. From this time on Thomas plays the drums and Esche performs on the rhythm guitar.

The second album "Dekonstrukteur des Fleisches" was recorded at Soundtempel Studio and produced by Stefan Traunmüller. After finishing the record the singer and the bassplayer left the band, so that there was place for Markus to take over the vocal parts and Mario to join as the new bass player.Since then the lineup is stronger than it ever was before and the band proved their power successfully on stage only one a few weeks later. Furthermore, the german record label Massacre Records became interested and signed the band. The Album "Dekonstrukteur des Fleisches" was released worldwide through Massacre Records in January 2012 and Irdorath were playing lots of concerts that year.

Apart from performing live, Irdorath had lots of ideas for new songs. A new set was born and so Thomas started recording the drums at Stage One Studio in Germany November 2012. After that was finished, the recording of the guitars, bassguitar and the vocals took place once more at the Soundtempel Studio. The new record, which is called „I Am Risen“, was finally mixed and mastered by Andy Classen at the Stage One Studio. The artwork and booklet design was done by the hand of Jan Yrlund from Darkgrove Graphics Studio, who is known for great designs for bands like Manowar, Legion Of The Damned or Korpiklaani.

After "I Am Risen" was recorded the band decided that the time for some changes had come and chose to cooperate with the Austrian Label Noisehead Records!

Meanwhile Irdorath back on stage playing gigs and festivals to gain more and more attention.
