Natan formed in January 2002 as a Melodic Black Metal band and started playing concerts in Belgium and Holland shortly after that. Also in 2002 a 8 track demo CD 'Akeldama' was recorded, and received good critics. In 2004 and 2005 the status of the band got boosted by their memorable gigs in Germany, Switzerland and Holland, and with the release of the 'Nevel' EP. The songs from the Nevel CD also got released on a split CD on the Mexican label Atolinga Records.
