Asphyx was formed back in 1987, this project quickly achieved universal recognition within the underground scene for his ground breaking style which was largely death metal based, but with melded forms of doom metal and thrash metal into the music.

The core, consisting of Bob Bagchus (drums) and Eric Daniels (guitars), saw many different line-ups, especially with changes on the vocalist/bass-player position (Martin Van Drunen and the late Theo Loomans being the most remarkable ones), but Asphyx never even thought about altering their style.

In 1998, the band's name changed to Soulburn. In 2000 they renamed it back into Asphyx only to disband a year after in 2001.

In 2007 the band decided to re-unite again for a one time performance at PARTY SAN and their lineup now consists of the following members:

Martin van Drunen - Vocals
Wannes Gubbels - Bass/Vocals
Paul Baayens - Guitar
Bob Bagchus - Drums
