Horrified was born in 2012 with humble beginnings. An acolyte worshipping the altar of old-school death metal, founder and creator Dan Alderson would later transform the project into a full band. Like so many of their predecessors, Horrified took a sidestep and evolved into melodic and grandiose territory, adding twin-guitar harmonies and increasing its scope into epic territory without sacrificing the original vision of savage OSDM.

After releasing two full-length albums on various labels, assaulting UK underground audiences with tight, energetic live performances and taking the aural onslaught to European audiences, Horrified arose from the underground, but did not avoid difficulty and challenges along the way,

But now, Horrified has been reborn into something far more vast than ever originally imagined. Fully embracing and expanding on what real melodic black / death is.

Horrified's signing to Shadow Kingdom has provided a logical alliance to bolster the band's ever-growing evolution and constant broadening of vision, scope, and horizons. Patient but never slumbering, Horrified arises from the ashes of a barren landscape, shrouded in majesty, resurrected in ancient art.
