Death Tyrant was a project of Thomas Backelin at first, running alongside with Lord Belial, but in the end of 2008 Lord Belial was put on ice and the ideas of turning the project into a real band began to take form.
Death Tyrant as a band was formed in the spring of 2009 and the positions within the band were filled very fast.
In the fall of 2012 Death Tyrant closed a deal with Non Serviam Records, a full length album is due for release in the spring of 2013.
