In 2000 the band recorded an - unreleased - demo and it was oriental doom metal with black metal influences. After that, the band decided to unleash their energy by changing their style into pure oriental black metal. Their second release, a mini-cd entitled 'Summoned by Night' was self- released in 2003 and it was widely distributed in Egypt. The demo received great reviews and more than respectful feedback which helped in making a huge fan base in Egypt.
ODIOUS has signed a deal with the greek record label Sleaszy Rider Records on June 20, 2005.
