Death Metal act out of the North Eastern Italian town of Novara and previously operational as BEDEVILED. The group's original 2001 line up comprised vocalist / bassist Wrath, guitarists Steph and Andre with Grom on the drums. However, both Andre and Grom soon exited, the latter hooking up with high profile Norwegian Black Metal band ANCIENT. Bizza was duly installed on the drums for recording of a track 'Deepest Infliction', this song included on the local compilation 'Nubilaria Vol.II' issued by Huginn Productions. As BEDEVILLED morphed into PSYCHOFAGIST a new singer by the name of Conra was inducted for recording of demos. Unfortunately both Conra and Bizza decamped upon completion of these sessions.

PSYCHOFAGIST signed to the Japanese Amputated Vein label to share an April 2003 split album 'Selfless Spite' with Belgian act HYBRID VISCERY. Simon from BASTARD SAINTS enrolled as the new PSYCHOFAGIST drummer that same month.
