Symphonic Dark metal band from Greece.

The band was formed back in 2001 under the name "Womb Of Maggots". A demo and the album "Life Odium" was released under that name but after that the band changed its name to "Inactive Messiah" and the self titled album was released December 2004 by Black Lotus Records.

A year later after some various line up changes Inactive Messiah entered the studio again for their third studio album (2nd under "Inactive Messiah" name). The recordings
took place at the Devilworx studios (Athens/Greece) and Finnvox Studios (Helsinki/Finland). The new material sound more melodic, aggressive and dark while the Hellenic national ERT choir and the Symphonic Orchestra of Slovakia (80 musicians) participate. The choir and Orchestra parts arranged by Chris A. (Chaostar/Septic Flesh/The Devilworx). The album was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios (Helsinki/Finland). In this new album Inactive Messiah invited some guest musicians to record some parts. JP Leppaluoto (Charon/ex-Poisonblack) sings in the song “Be My Drug” which is also the name of the album, Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish) has recorded the guitar solo part of the cover song "Beat It" from Michael Jackson and Arto Tuunela (Major Label) do some Finnish vocals on song "Before The End".

Inactive Messiah are glad that signed a deal with Holy Records, that released "bE mY dRug" on December 2006. After the deal Katerina decided to leave the band for personal reasons.
