The band was created in May 2000 by singer Alex Necrotorture under the name of Suspiria. In January 2001, after various line-up modifications, the band recorded its first promo CD "Psychotic Necrophilus".

In autumn 2001, about eight months after the release of the first promo CD, the band decided to replace the drummer due to his lack of experience. They auditioned some drummers and, thanks to the contacts of the singer Alex Necrotorture, the band arrived at the rehearsal room with the ex-drummer of Terremoto. Leaving behind the first promo CD the band changed its name for a new project with the name of Necrotorture (from the nickname of the singer) that recorded(in about three months), a new demo CD with four songs. Among these, two songs from the old works were re-arranged in a different way and became more potent for the better ability of the new drummer. The band offers, in its works, brutal gore with splatter inspiration and presents texts full of themes about serial killers, science-fiction aliens, pornography based on sexual obsessions of maniacs, killers and killing-art men. After this CD demo called "Exploring Ways of Flesh", the band played with bands like Horrid, Bastard Saints, Necrophilism, Cadaveric Crematorium, Virulent Re-Shapes, with great success and receiving congratulations by those present.
