The band was founded in 1996/1997 by Ivy - bass, Chriser - guitar and Seba - drums. In 2000, after several line-up changes the band recorded their first MCD entitled "...And The Angels Descended To Earth". Musicians who took part in the recording session were: Crow - vocals (ex-Cold Passion), Chriser - guitar, Sworn - guitar, Ivy - bass, Trichiasis (Asgaard) - synthesizers, Xen - drums. After the recording Xen left the band and his place was taken by Phoenix (Cold Passion). This was also the line-up for the first Serpentia gigs (with e.g. Vader, Parricide, Whorehouse, Thy Disease). "...And The Angels Descended To Earth" was a great example of what Serpentia could offer - technically excellent material, constantly surprising with its variety and creativity. The vocalist's skills were also appreciated by the press - his vocals range from growling and death metal scream to whisper. The voice of the opera artist Izabela Szota appears in two pieces ("The Shepherd Of Cornets" and "Prayer For The Dying").
Soon the band started to play gigs promoting "...And The Angels Descended To Earth" (Hell Fest, Metal Party and more). After series of concerts the work on the new album started. The album was recorded and produced in Jarek Baran's Jaro Home Studio (Delight, Thy Desease, Anal Stench). Cover artwork was designed by a young artist Mikashigaru. The lyrics on "Dark Fields Of Pain" tell of physical suffering and mental decay. At the moment Serpentia focuses on gigs promoting the new release.
