Razor of Occam, a thrash metal band with black metal influences, was formed in the late 1990s in South Australia and later relocated to London. The group's name was derived from Ockham's Razor, a philosophical principle. Their early work included the demo Diabologue, released in 1998, followed by an EP of the same name on Damnation Records in 1999. In 2003, they released the EP Pillars of Creation. Their debut album, Homage to Martyrs, was released in 2009 on Metal Blade Records. The band toured extensively with acts such as Asphyx and Primordial.
