The band went on World Domination tour part I, together with Enslaved, Swordmaster, Insaniac, Grim Kerfuffle, Axe Noodle, Black Deth, Mole Rat, Scorched Mirth, and Dellamorte. The Hellcult was feeling fed up with the new wave of power metal that was rising and decided to try to infiltrate this christian scene with the Devil's evil unguent. Stromlord replaced Reaper behind the drums. Bewitched was joined by a second axe man named 'Hellfire.' He helped the band on their infernal Mexican crusade in December 2000 as a session guitarist but since things worked out as well as they did he is now a fulltime member in the Hellcult. In 2006, Stormlord left the band and the drum parts on the album were played by Marc Malice.

Bewitched visited the Umea-based UMT-studio for the recording of the debut, Diabolical Desecration. Due to some technical errors Diabolical Desecration was finally released in March 1996 and in June. The Band was on a European tour in 1996 and at the same time the band released 'Encyclopedia of Evil'. This was also a tribute to other bands who influenced Bewitched's sound.

The band went on European tour for the second time and during the tour the band released live album entitled 'Hell Comes to Essen' in 1998. Let's view the complete discography of the band.
