INI PULAK PROFAIL YANG AKU DAPAT DARI GARISKERAS

Band black metal dari Jakarta ini pada awalnya bernama CREMATION CEREMONY dengan line-up awal: Achonk The The Myth Iblissakers (vokal), Irvan Nursick (guitar), Fahrulizt Inzaniach (bass), Chex's Bestial Fornication (guitar) dan Zeno Ass (drums).

Karena tidak adanya kecocokan dalam visi, maka sekitar akhir tahun 1997 dua personil, Zeno dan Fahrulist menyatakan mengundurkan diri. Tak lama kemudian segera bergabung dua personil baru, Andreant Nilson dan Tommy Cronos.

Akhirnya setelah dirasa sudah cukup padu, maka pada tanggal 14 Desember 1997 mereka dengan resmi mengubah CREMATION CEREMONY menjadi ZHALIM sekaligus mengubah konsep musikal yang mereka sebut dengan "Harmony Mystical Black Metal Majesty" yang diramu dengan sentuhan etnik sunda.

Awal tahun 1999 badai pergantian personil kembali menerpa band ini, Achonk (vokal) menyatakan keluar dan segera saja posisi yang kosong itu dapat diatasi dengan masuknya Raden Syarif. Menyusul kemudian masuknya Febrianos Vempiric Damien (additional keyboard), bahkan band inipun sempat menambah female voice yaitu Viola Zantie Votaress, meskipun tak bertahan lama.

Band ini banyak mengalami perombakan personil, tercatat beberapa kali mereka bergonta-ganti line-up. Hingga pada akhirnya di bulan Agustus 2000 ZHALIM mengubah konsep musiknya menjadi "Majesty Sick Metal Mysticism" yang meramu dari berbagai jenis musik. Band yang banyak ter-influence band-band seperti: Cradle Of Filth, Hecate Enthroned, Dissection, Marduk dan Helloween ini turut serta mengisi Kompilasi Panggilan Pulau Puaka IV volume 1 di bawah label Psychic Scream records, Malaysia dan juga Kompilasi black metal NEOHELLIST "Darkness Coming Here" Extreme Souls Production, Bandung.

Saat ini ZHALIM memakai seorang additional musician yaitu Wanted Godless. Inilah line-up terakhir mereka: Raden Syarif (Violence Scream), Irvan Nursick (Filthy Gruinting), Bayu Asstennu (Hammer of Gods) dan Wanted Godless (Additional).
