Formed in 1984, Necrophagia were one of the very first death metal bands; they focused on gore and horror movies since the beginning and are also credited as pioneers of the "Horror Metal" subgenre. Killjoy is the leader of the band and the only original member.

The band broke up in 1987 and remained inactive for more than 10 years; until 1998 when Phil Anselmo (Pantera) approached Killjoy with some riffs, he subsequently joined the band on guitar and wrote all the songs for the album "Holocausto de la Morte".

Not to be confused with Necrophagia from California.

Back in 1999, Killjoy, Fenriz (Darkthrone), Satyr (Satyricon), Phil Anselmo (Pantera), and Maniac (Mayhem) started a "supergroup" called Eibon. They were supposed to record a full-length, but due to their heavy schedule, plans were changed. Maniac left the band, and they released one track called "Mirror Soul Jesus" in Moonfog 2000 compilation "A Different Perspective". They also recorded an unnamed song.

It is known that Killjoy produced a demo from the Ohio band Arch Rival, but it is unknown if he was actually a member of the band or not.

The band's video for the song "Cannibal Holocaust" is included as a bonus feature in the Grindhouse Productions re-release of the Italian film.
