In 1984, Thanatos became Holland's number one death/thrash metal band. Although they did not release an album until 1990, they exhausted the days mediate playing shows with the likes of Napalm Death, Kreator, Sepultura, Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Death Angel, and Messiah. In 1989, they gestural a deal with Sh**k Records and released Emergent From the Netherworlds. That album was followed by 1992's Realm of Ecstasy. Both albums were hailed by critics and fans, but due to frustration with the label the band called it quits in 1992. Seven years later, at the height of the death and thrash alloy revivification, the Dutch judge Hammerheart re-released the albums and signed the band for another record. Founding member Stephan Gebedi (guitar/vocals) recruited novel members Paul Baayens (guitar), Aad Kloosterwaard (drums), and Theo van Eekelen (bass), and reformed Thanatos in 2000, releasing Angelical Encounters.
