The band was founded in Helmstedt, Lower Saxony, Germany in 1993. After one lineup change in 1994, we are active in the same formation for over 30 years now.
The lineup is:
Peter: guitar and vocals
Mirco: bass guitar and vocals
Chrille: lead guitar
Alex: drums
We started as a death metal band but due to our diverse taste in metal music, we included some other influences. Over the years we found our place right between thrash and death metal, with some groovy punch included. We draw inspiration from anything that has a solid metal edge. After a demo tape in 1995 (called “Sinfather”) and a first CD in 2000 called “Humanity Offline”, the album “inCite the unCreation” followed in 2010. This record is still available and was the first professional production. Servator played several gigs, mainly in our home region, as well in Braunschweig, Wolfsburg, Verden, Rotenburg and Buxtehude. We were part of Helmstedt - based open air festivals as “Waldbrand” (which was headlined by Vader) and “HelmFest” (headlined by Endseeker). This march we are part of the HelmFest - warmup show near Helmstedt, were a lot of regional bands come together for a heavy evening. In January 2026, our new all - out attack titled “The Dark Triad” will be released. Like “incite the unCreation”, it was recorded and produced at Splash’n’ Dash Studio by Reimund Junker in Helmstedt.
“The Dark Triad” is a psychological theory of personality, that describes three notably offensive but non - pathological personality types: Machiavellianism, sub -clinical narcissism, and sub - clinical psychopathy. Each of these personality types is called dark because each is considered to contain malevolent qualities. Although The Dark Triad is no concept album about this whole theory, the lyrics deal with conflicts, wars, personal tragedies, and crises - basically everything that’s going wrong in the world and that is often caused by man. The album is available as a three folded digipak with a 12 - page booklet and, after the release, on all major streaming platforms. If we get the feedback and the demand, we might produce a small vinyl edition, too. In December 2025, alongside an Instagram account, our YouTube channel went online with our first lyric video for “Drown in Blood,” to be followed soon by another video for “The Invocator.”
On January 17, 2026, our CD release party took place at JFBZ Helmstedt. We were able to secure Instructor (thrash metal) from Rostock and the death metal steamroller New World Depression from Emsdetten as support acts (New World Depression headlining, to be more precise). This show was a blast and gave us many positive response from the audience. We hope our album will be received positively as well. We never stepped back from doing what we call “Servator Metal”, that’s the way we love our metal and we would be grateful, if there are some follewers outside to support the underground.
