First demo "Rape the banner of light" was released in 1997 on the french label Chanteloup Creation.

Hegemon is an entity itself where the musicians are just instruments to spread its music. We do not belong to anything, we don't want to be linked to anything, we are what we are : dedicated and free souls only.
