Rebaelliun is a Brazilian death metal band formed in 1998. Their musical style is comparable to that of their compatriots Krisiun. Following the release of their promotional tape, the band signed with the Dutch label Hammerheart Records, which released their debut album, Burn the Promised Land, in 1999. The album's release was followed by a European tour.
The band recorded an EP, Bringer of War, which included a cover of Morbid Angel. Shortly thereafter, they released a second album, Annihilation, followed by another European tour. Various issues eventually led to the band's dissolution in 2001. After a 13-year hiatus, Rebaelliun announced its return to the stage in 2015.
According to a statement on his official personal page, Fabiano Penna (guitarist and founding member) confirmed that Rebaelliun had reunited with all original members to "write a new chapter of brutality" in the band's history. A third album and a worldwide tour were already planned for 2016, as reported by the Metalmedia website. The Metallian encyclopedia noted that the members had discussed reuniting over the years.
"It’s been a long time I’ve wanted to share these news, but now it’s time: me, Lohy, Sandro, and Ronaldo have finally decided to reunite again to write a new chapter in the history of Rebaelliun! We will prepare our third album and consequently play a tour to promote it in 2016, among other plans we have. I would like to thank for all the endless support we have received from people from many countries in the last years, people who’s always asking and talking about this reunion, and that kept our name alive after so long. It would be impossible to name all of you here, but you know who you are. More news soon. At war!!"

Poland's Empire Records licensed the album and released it in late March 2008. Penna later resumed playing for Rebaelliun.
Sandro Moreira (drums) joined the long-standing Brazilian death metal band Mental Horror. He played drums on their third and most successful album, Blemished Redemption, released in 2007. The album was issued through Mutilation Records in Brazil, with Germany's Animate Records handling the vinyl release, while Poland's Empire Records licensed and released the album in mid-August 2007. Moreira subsequently returned to Rebaelliun.

Marzari later joined the Brazilian death metal band Abhorrence, signed to the French label Listenable Records.
Little was heard from Lohy Fabiano (bass/vocals on Annihilation) and guitarist Ronaldo Lima until Fabiano Penna's announcement about the band's reunion in 2015 and the subsequent release of their 2016 album, The Hell's Decrees.
