Witchslayer were formed Chicago, Illinois in the year 1980 at a house party. In 1982, bassist Sean McAllister left the band to join doom metal band Trouble, with whom the band shared a rehearsal space. In 1983, the band had their song I Don't Want to Die featured on Metal Blade Record's Metal Massacre compilation series, along with Trouble, with The Last Judgment. The band would issue their only release, a self-titled and self-produced demo, later that year. The band stuck together for a few years, writing some material that remains unreleased to this day, before eventually splitting up, but reforming years later and signing to Rockadrome Records.
