Formed in Bergen, Norway, in 2002 and was set out to be Iscariah's (Necrophagia, ex-Immortal) solo project. Dead to This World sees the return to the ancient speed/thrash/black metal underground and remains to this day a complete study and worship of ancient darkness. A 3-track demo was recorded on the 23rd of April 2005 in Voltage Studios Bradford, UK. A limited edition hand-numbered promo package of 150 copies was sent out to relevant and potential sources in the scene, but was not available for sale to the public. However, the demo was released as a 7'' EP through Iron Pegasus Records in a strictly limited edition. Also, a split 7" EP with Audiopain was released through Hearse Records. The debut CD was released in Europe through Dark Essence Records on the 19th of November 2007, and a North American licence-version surfaced in November 2008. Modern Invasion Music also released a version exclusively for Australia / New Zealand.

The band has also participed on the compilation 'Bestial Necromancy Vol. 1' released via Black Vomit Records.
