Khariot was formed in October 2008 in Perth, Western Australia, by Gavin Foo (Guitars, vocals), Shah Zaini (Guitars, vocals) and Michael Rule (Drums, percussion) from their history of playing together and interests in similar music. After months of searching, the lineup was completed with the addition of bassist Darren Joy in May 2009.

Gavin and Michael, after having had experience onstage and in the studio with Noctis and The Alchemont (respectively) and 2 EPs under their belts, the 3 have combined forces to create a meld of metal indescribable in words, taking influences and ranging everywhere from dissonant black metal to technical death, thrash to doom and drone.

After years of furious writing, developing their live show, including Gavin and Mike winning the "Best Guitarist & Drummer" categories at the 2010 Western Front Metal Awards, and alot of rehearsing - the results culminated, resulting in their debut release - Disymposium, in March 2011.

Following the departure of Shah and Darren in 2012, the duo will be releasing their latest effort, Esoteric, early in 2015 on a pay-what-you-want basis.
