There are at least 7 bands with the name Azathoth, most of which have either disbanded or have vanished into obscurity. Given this fact, the two most recent bands of this name will be listed. 1. Black Metal band from Fresno, California 2. Solo project of Black/Doom multi instrumentalist Azathoth, who also plays in the black/doom band Gurthang. Released one demo titled "Spirits of a Forgotten Forest..." in 2011 via Depressive Illusions Records, and one full length "Persephone's Dream" at the end of 2012, via Satanarsa Records. Much like his work in Gurthang. Azathoth's solo album is dark and atmospheric, combining layers of guitar and keyboard to create a dense, ethereal mood.
