Decayed & Urn - The Nameless Wraith / Morbid Death [Split] (2004)

Decayed:

One of the pioneering Portuguese black metal bands; founded in August 1990 as a death metal band named Decay by JA (vox/guitars) and Nuno (guitars), tired of senselless projects, decided to start a band with real goals. With Pedro on drums and Carlos on bass, the first songs start to be composed. Latter, Jorge joined on vocals. The first official release was the demo "Thus Revelead" from 1992; before that, several rehearsal tapes were sent throughout the Underground to spread the word.

 Around 1996, drummer J.B. left and subsequent recordings featured a drum machine. In 2002, the last remaining band member left, leaving founding member J.A. as the sole survivor,

Many members passed through the band during all these years.
In 2011 Vulturius joined on bass and vocals and in 2016 G.R. joined on drums.
