Witchmaster, a Polish thrash metal band from Zielona Góra, was formed in 1996 by former Profanum members Krzysztof "Geryon" Włodarski and Tomasz "Reyash" Rejek. The group initially included Witold "Vitold" Domański on drums. In their early years, Witchmaster released two demos: Thrash ör Die! in 1996 and No Peace at All in 1997. Their debut album, Violence & Blasphemy, was released in 2000 under Pagan Records. Following this release, the band underwent several lineup changes, including the addition of Sebastian Grochowiak on vocals and Zbigniew Robert Promiński from Behemoth on drums. In 2002, they released Masochistic Devil Worship, which featured covers of Sarcófagos' "Satanic Lust" and Sodom's "Blasphemer". The band toured extensively in Europe with acts like Deströyer 666 and Howitzer. Subsequent releases included the EP Sex, Drugs & Satan (2003) and a self-titled album (2004).
