Blasphemy are a Canadian black metal band based in Vancouver, British Columbia that formed in 1984.

[2] The band formed first as "Antichrist", and would see two further name changes ("Desaster" and "Thrash Hammer", respectively)[2] before settling on Blasphemy in 1987.

The band released a demo titled "Blood Upon the Altar" in 1989 and their debut album, "Fallen Angel of Doom",[4][5] the following year through Wild Rags, to whom they had signed to whilst touring the United States.

[9] Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds left the band during the first few days of the tour after experiencing problems with then bassist Ace Gustapo Necrosleezer and Vaginal Commands.

For the rest of the tour, Ace replaced Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds on lead vocals.
