ASTHAROTH

NOTE: Not to be confused with a secular Polish band from the 80s-90s.

LOCATION: Belgium (Westmalle, Antwerp)

Formed in 2000 as Cripple Exile. Later changed name to Galgestrot, before finally settling on Astharoth. (If it turns out anything particularly interesting happened under those previous names, I'll create a separate page for them. In the meantime, though, this page will cover all three.)

Maxim "Galgestrot" Vanhoegaarden - Vocals
Grafzerk Lul - Guitars
Manuel "Gullin-Bursti" Breugelmans - Bass
Dieter "The Cannibal" Huysmans - Drums

INFO:
1) Lyrics. 2) [This page] says they used three Abjathar songs, though only two appear on the demo. (One on the standard version; two on the limited edition.) What happened to the third one? 3) How many copies were made of the "limited" edition?
