Dutch black metal band from Rotterdam, formed in 1993 by vocalist Chris Hofman, aka Gorgoroth,
at a time when his other band, Funeral Winds, had decided to split up for a while.
In 1994 Gorgoroth released their debut 7'' EP "The Seventh Winter",
with the help of Esteban on drums, his band mate in Funeral Winds.
A year later their demo "Winter Returns..." was published on two different cassette versions,
first independently and later through Witching Hour Productions, this time with the help of Ister (aka Vincent Meelhuysen).
By mid-1995 the band had found a full lineup with Gorgoroth (vocals), Vincent "Ister" Meelhuysen (guitars),
Mous (bass), Lawrence Meyer (drums) and Marco Meyer (keyboards).
With this formation in 1996 they released their first full length album
entitled "Dancing Through The Palace Of The Ungodly Beauty" followed by the MCD "Vendetta".
In mid-1996, Barry aka Sabaoth joined the band as a second guitarist.
After the recording of their second album "Dwell Within The Mysterious Dark" in 1998,
drummer Lawrence Meyer left and was replaced by Yuri "Y. Xul" Rinkel, formerly of Inferi and Funeral Winds.
Their third full length album "Ancient Wars" was released in 2000 on Mascot records.
In February 2005 Liar Of Golgotha officially broke up publishing a parting statement.
