A banda formou-se em 1998 mas terminou pouco tempo depois visto não encontrarem um vocalista á altura.
Em 2004 com a entrada de Dimitris Koutsouvelis regressaram.
Em 2008 e após assinarem com a Metal On Metal saiu o album de estreia, que viria a ser reeditado este ano, tal como a demo de 2005 já tinha sido.
Sai este mês o 2º album "The Symbolist".
Se inicialmente o som da banda era uma mistura de power, doom, com King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, neste momento a banda fixou-se mais no US power com alguns elementos de thrash metal técnico, e mantendo intacta as atmosferas King Diamond/Mercyful Fate.

HEATHENDOM didn't rest on laurels, but pushed the envelope even further. The Greeks shed doom elements almost completely, instead concentrating on intense and dark power metal stemming from the US and Scandinavian school (SANCTUARY, NEVERMORE, MEMORY GARDEN, MORGANA LEFAY...), but on their 2nd full-length they venture into the technical thrash (ANNIHILATOR, HEXENHAUS) and even further into the movie soundtrack territories, incorporating classical instrumentation into their intricate arrangements. Not only the vocalist, who often sounds slightly deranged, reminds of the king of horror metal, but the spirit of KING DIAMOND works hovers over this music. Perfect production boosts this unique metal gem, highlighting every single instrument.
