GOTMOOR came forth from the ideas of Storm (drums), at that time guitarist for the death metal band DECEPTION and Nevel (guitars). Allthough the many conversations about a new band, held in early 1993 between these two musicians, it wasn't until april 1996 when their dreams turned into reality.

Nearly a month later they were joined by Ysenghrim (keyboards) and Kris (vocals), both previously active in FIRESNAKES. Unfortiunatly it didn't work out for Kris

After one single year the band had written a total of 27 songs, and thus enough to record a demo called 'Dicht Bi Den Heerd', which was very appreciated by the underground public.

Then Alastor, at that time singer & guitarist of VAE VICTIS joined, because Ysenghrim could not coordinate singing and playing at the same time.

After some while Alastor decided to leave GOTMOOR to concentrate himself more on VAE VICTIS. He still helped them out until the comming of a new singer, who turned out to be Clauwaert, bassplayer of SERENELESS. Around the same time Dodeweert (bass) also joined so Storm could concentrate more on his drums.

After all these changes they were ready to record their second masterpiece called 'Uit den donkeren grond gerezen'

... And thus we came to this very day.
