Abominator was formed in Melbourne in 1994 by Andrew "Undertaker" Gillon and Chris "Volcano" Broadway (formerly of Deströyer 666)^[3] and self-released their first demo, Barbarian War Worship in May 1995, which featured six tracks.^[4] It was later rereleased as a split with Swedish death metal band Mornaland.^[5] In late 1995, Dave Deathsaw (guitars) and Gary Gestapo (Bass) were added to the lineup and performed numerous gigs, notably with war metal band Bestial Warlust. The vocalist for Bestial Warlust, Damon Bloodstorm (bass, vocals) joined Abominator the same year, and Gary Gestapo was dismissed.

In 1997, they recorded their next release, another demo titled The Conqueror Possessed. A year later, Dave Deathsaw departed the band.

Abominator later signed a deal with Necropolis Records, and would go on to achieve major success in the US. They released Damnations Prophecy, and recorded a track for Necropolis' 1999 compilation album, Thrashing Holocaust.^[6] Around 2000, they began writing and recording their next album, Subersives for Lucifer, but Necropolis decided to no longer support the band and dropped them from the label. However, Abominator managed to secure a contract with Osmose Records, and Subversives for Lucifer was released under that label. After the release of this album Damon Bloodstorm departed the band.^[7]

In early 2001, Max Krieg joined the band on vocals. They appeared in Osmose Records' "World Domination" DVD in early 2002, and recorded their next album, a limited edition LP titled Nuctemeron Descent later that year which was released in 2003.^[8] The marketing campaign for this album was very successful, and Abominator was soon performing on tours alongside the likes of Deströyer 666, Hobbs' Angel of Death and Mayhem^[9] and appeared on "Osmose NoisyMotions", a two-and-a-half-hour DVD featuring bands such as Immortal, Dark Tranquility and Absu.^[10] Abominator was also booked to play in the Bloodlust 2004 festival, but Max unexpectedly quit the band due to drug-related and emotional problems, leaving Abominator without a vocalist and forcing them to cancel all remaining shows. They were also released by Osmose in 2004.^[11]

Shortly after that, the band signed a new two-album deal with Displeased Records, and released The Eternal Conflagration in May 2006.^[12]
