Serpentum emerged in 2017, unleashing the debut demo, "..In the Choke of Existence". This was followed by "Harmony of the Paradox" in 2018. Driven by the twisted minds of Judas and Scourge, Serpentum initially manifested as a two man project, but in 2021, while Scourge was AWOL in Mexico, Yrsa joined on guitar and Polar on drums, while extra guitar duties were covered by Bile..

The recruitment of extra members enabled Serpentum to start playing shows, and shortly after, Draugr became permanent bassist and completed the infernal ensemble.

In 2023 they signed with Blackened Records on their TSR label, and released the LP "Aeternum Interitus"

The end of 2023 saw Scourge return on Guitar.

In January 2025, they released "The Hilt of Forking Tongues" album.
