The bulk of the information that ''is'' known about their membership is apparently sourced from email interviews with their first vocalist, Shaxul. The band was evidently founded by guitarist Hasjarl (real name [[IronicName Christian]] Bouché) along with Shaxul, a bassist known only as Khaos, and a drummer by the name of Yohann Pasquier, originally intended as a side project to the band Hirilorn, which all except Khaos were members of. Yohann is ThePeteBest and appears only on the band's demo. No one outside the band knows who plays drums on their subsequent recordings; it's been suggested that Hasjarl's brother (no known name or pseudonym) is the drummer, but no one knows for certain. This is another recurring theme for the band; their last recording to credit individual performers was in 2002. (The band has denied speculations that most of their recordings use a drum machine, indicating that only the first four tracks on ''Infernal Battles'' employed one.) From 2004 to 2019, none of their releases listed songwriters, either; however, some releases of 2022's ''The Long Defeat'' on streaming services have evidently credited Bouché as songwriter (perhaps due to the band concluding that his identity is by now an open secret).

The former name certainly seems to support the speculation that Hasjarl's brother is the band's drummer, and as they've indicated in interviews that the band, at its core, is a power trio, the process of elimination suggests that the latter is Khaos.

** In 2023, Apple Music began crediting the songwriters of several of their albums as "Christian Bouché, Deathspell Omega, Stéphane Bouché, and Sylvain Ranger". Given the above, it seems reasonable to conjecture that Stéphane Bouché is the drummer and Sylvain Ranger is the bassist. It's not clear why their names are now being listed publicly, but the fact that they maintained their anonymity for as long as they did is nonetheless an impressive accomplishment.
