Dark Ambient project from France, founded by Nicolas D. Faure

 (Dies Sanguini, Kurotokage, Ligeia's Sore Neurosis, Les Amants Maudits, Ephel Duath) in 1994.
The first demo tape, "Dance In The Winter Fog",

was released in the same year and was a mixture of dungeon synth and black metal.
In 1997 Asmorod released on Solistitium Records their first full-length album titled "Involution Toward Chtonian Depths",

which saw the participation of Cédric Codognet (Sator Absentia) and Vanessa Hidden.

With this album the project started to provide its typical mysterious,

deep dark ambient that distinguishes them from other releases of the same style.
Other albums followed, "A Faint Light Below" in 1998, "Derelict" in 1999, and "Hysope" in 2006.
