The project started in 2009 when our Guitarists Demashky (Nihility) and Shalaq met in college, it was like "hey dude you play the guitar well me too lets do some jamming" and then Shalaq introduced the bass player Essah then the old drummer Khalid Nassar who played with us in the demo.

Recently Fadi Mssamiri also (AKA Typhone) who played in a great local band called Eulen and played the drums in another local band Abidetherein joined NETHERION as replacement to Khalid Nassar.

The vocal Gilbert were introduced to the band after a while by a friend of the guitarists then we gave the band a name "Netherion", a combination of two words "nether" and "Ion". "Nether" goes back to the nether world (the world of spirits were the souls dwells after death before the judgment day in some legends and tails, "ion" is the center of the atom so basically the name means the center of the nether world, so far it describes the state of decay we feel that the world is drowning in with all the issues and psychodrama.
