Arisen in New York City, New York in 1993 from the ashes of one of the most influential US black metal bands of all time, HAVOHEJ (<#8216;Jehovah<#8217; in reverse) came forth by Paul Ledney originally as a vessel for continuing the Profanatica legacy. Ledney also has credits with Incantation and Revenant.

A 1993 7<#8221; single, <#8216;Unholy Darkness And Impurity<#8217;, saw issue via the suitably titled Desecration Of God Productions.

Erstwhile Profanatica and Incantation man Brett Makowski performed session guitars on the 1993 <#8216;Dethrone The Son Of God<#8217; album, a collection of re-worked Profanatica tracks, released through Candlelight Records.

Later, HAVOHEJ were to evolve into one of most (if not THE most) original sounding form of pure blackness ever. Follow-ups included 1994 EPs <#8216;Black Perversion<#8217;, on JCS Records, and <#8216;The Black Mist<#8217;, released on Ax/ction Records. In 1996 the Grinding Peace label re-issued <#8216;Unholy Darkness And Impurity<#8217;.

HAVOHEJ returned in 2000 with the Necroscope single <#8216;Man And Jinn<#8217;, featuring cover versions of Venom<#8217;s <#8216;Leave Me In Hell<#8217;, Impaled Nazarene<#8217;s <#8216;Goat Perversion<#8217; as well an original of their own.

September 29th, 2007 the band made a shocking very first and only performance ever at the <#8220;Autumn Equinox V<#8221;. The month prior, the now classic <#8216;Dethrone the Son of God<#8217; was re-issued on CD by Hells Headbangers Records with re-worked artwork < layout. The long over due vinyl format treatment is set for early 2008 in addition to a currently untitled full-length album later in the year.

November 30th, 2007 Hells Headbangers Records announced the official release of <#8216;Tungkat Blood Wand<#8217; as a vinyl-only 10<#8221; MLP. A special edition of 213 hand-numbered copies of this <#8220;reverse groove<#8221; record, were pressed on vomit-reeking brown vinyl. What followers can expect from <#8216;Tungkat Blood Wand<#8217; Paul Ledney simply states in an issue of Metal Maniacs: <#8220;It takes a lot of work to police the sounds and ideas without changing; everyone wants to grow and expand. It<#8217;s natural, but Havohej is un-natural, narrow-minded, and the same thing every time. I have broken major ground on the new recording for Hells Headbangers, leaving everyone in the dust at least five years behind. While they play catch up, I<#8217;ll plan out the full-length.<#8221;
