At the end of 2000 year, members of Snow Bird (heavy metal) and The Devil (death/doom metal) - two hordes from Bulgaria (Sandanski), during their rehearsals work also for a black metal project called Perverse Monastyr - melodic old-school black metal with satanic and misanthropic lyrics.

In April 2001 the records of the first demo began - "Resurrection Of The Dark Age" (released in 2003 through AMF Productions & Vogort Zine), which because of difficulties last till the middle of january 2002. It has exclusively rough sound, but melodic guitar lines, an interesting mix of old-school black metal with some death and thrash touches.

In 2003 a song, taken from "Resurrection Of The Dark Age" - "Lake Of Lost Souls" - was included in the cult Underground Black Metal compilation "We Worship…" vol. 1 (AMF Prod.).
