THE CRUCIFIER was formed in February of 1995 by Hlias \"Thanatoid\" Kyriazis (vocals) and Giorgos Kyriazis (bass guitar) in
Athens, Greece.
With 3 demos (1995-Infernal Pain / 1996-Totally Madness / 1998-Fear is your Mind) 2 Ep's (2001-Innocent World / 2004-Escape or Die!) and a full length album (2002-Merciless Conviction) after several changes in the line-up, the band recorded the second full length (2006-Cursed Cross) and 2 split 7'' (2009-CRUCIFIER/HATE YOUR FATE, CRUCIFIER/BYWAR) with new members from 2003-'04 and '05 except Thanatoid.
