Asgaroth was a Spanish black metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 1995.

Their international attention increased after their second album release, Red Shift, through Peaceville.

The British label was one of the first to respond positively to the recordings of the album and decided to sign the band for three editions.

For the summer of 2003, the band had already plans of making a new production, but the release dates for My Dying Bride and Katatonia new albums, scheduled preliminarily for June of the same year, caused a delay, so the record label decided to give the band more time to prepare another release.

The official split-up occurred in 2007 after their tour with Type O Negative when the band posted on their Myspace page, in a way to say goodbye to their fans, a blog entry that they named "Farewell Asgaroth" in which they stated their decision of breaking up.
