SERAPH was formed august 1996 by Christian Kalns (ex-DYING ANGEL) and Michael Kainberger (ex-DECORUM).

Shortly afterwards Dietmar found out that this is not his kind of music and was replaced by Manuel Inhester in September 1996. March 1997 SERAPH's first gig took place in the Rochkhouse Salzburg.

Various gigs in Austria and Germany followed and in January 2002, SERAPH opened the "Thrash 'til death" festival for SODOM, KREATOR and DESTRUCTION. In January 2003 the second CD "Hatecrusher" was released...
