After wandering the metal underground since 1999, it is march 2007 when "The New Onheil" arises. Formed by the fusion between "The Old Onheil", a well known band in the Benelux underground with 1 MCD, and Martyr, a melodic black metal band, having released 2 albums on American record labels. This new line-up has 3 guitarists and 2 lead vocalist giving them more possibilities to expand their own unique blackened metal sound.

The return started with some great live shows, including opening for Norwegian black metal cult band Mayhem and a show with Polish death metal legends Vader. At the end of October of that same year Onheil released a new song, "As Hope Dies", available as an mp3 and as a self-made video clip. This video clip got a lot of attention on the internet making the song a small underground "hit".

In February/March 2008 a promo CD was recorded and sent to a small list of suitable record labels. Several labels showed their interest after receiving the promo and Cyclone Empire from Germany was chosen to work with for their next album.

In July Onheil played at the the highly acclaimed open air festival Stonehenge with internationally known bands such as Entombed, Belphegor, Sadist and Burden Of Grief. Later that year Onheil started working on their album "Razor". "Razor" was finished in March 2009 and released the 15th of May. The album was officially presented to the world on June 7th in Baroeg, Rotterdam (NL), when playing a show with Rotting Christ from Greece.
