With this formation the band recorded the Carpe Noctem demo tape, which received fair reviews from the German specialized press.

Agathodaimon proceeded to play minor gigs and support other European bands, eventually receiving an offer from Century Media to fund the recording of their second demo tape.

[3] After successfully composing the songs for their debut album Blacken the Angel, band member Vlad, was forced to quit Agathodaimon due to problems with immigration.

In 1999, Vampallens decided to quit the band in order to dedicate himself fully to his main project Nocte Obducta.

He was replaced by female keyboardist Christine S. To record their second album - Higher Art of Rebellion - the band travelled to Romania, in order to be able to play together with Vlad.

Marko did leave because of health problems and quit making music, while Christine formed her own band Demonic Symphony, where she handles bass guitar and vocals.

A new bass player named Till (formerly active in Misanthropic, where Matthias also played drums for a while) joined the ranks, and the song writing for the next album took place.
