Varathron are a greek black metal band in a similar vein to early Rotting Christ and Necromantia. They formed in 1988. Following the Greek style, the band builds a lot of ambience and progression using strong melodic & hypnotic guitar work and slower doomy/death peaceful moments amongst the occasional bursts of chaos very typical of Greek black metal.

They have several releases including:Procreation of the Unaltered Evil Demo, 1989 One Step Beyond Dreams EP, 1991 Genesis of Apocryphal Desire Demo, 1991 The Black Arts / The Everlasting Sins Split, 1992 His Majesty at the Swamp Full-length, 1993 Black Arts Lead to Everlasting Sins Split, 1994 Walpurgisnacht Full-length, 1995 Genesis of Apocryphal Desire Best of/Compilation, 1997 Sarmutius Pegorus Promo Demo, 1997 The Lament of Gods EP, 1999 Varathron 1989/1991 Best of/Compilation, 2004 Live at the Swamp Demo, 2004 Crowsreign Full-length, 2004 Stygian Forces of Scorn Full-length, 2009
