MAILSORCERER появились в Швеции в конце 80-х и стали одной из первых групп стиля, который сейчас известен как "эпик-дум-метал". Наряду с первопроходцами жанра CANDLEMASS, сцену на тот момент представляли лишь SOLITUDE AETURNUS, WHILE HEAVEN WEPT и SORCERER.
За время своего существования SORCERER выпустили два самостоятельных кассетных релиза, которые быстро стали андерграундной культовой классикой, включаемой металлистами в число лучших работ той эпохи. В 1992 году, после ряда перемен в составе, группа распалась, но часть ее участников добилась успеха с другими коллективами. Басист Johnny Hagel присоединился к стоящим на пороге прорыва TIAMAT, а впоследствии к SUNDOWN. Вокалист Anders Engberg сделал себе имя в прог-пауэр-метале, выступая с группами LION'S SHARE, TWILIGHT и SECTION A.

Осенью 2010 года участников SORCERER уговорили реформироваться на одно выступление на немецком фестивале “Hammer Of Doom”, а год спустя – на фестивале “Up The Hammers” в Афинах. Оба выступления были приняты очень позитивно, и у музыкантов начали обретать форму мысли о создании нового альбома. Процесс его сочинения, аранжировки и записи занял больше двух лет и в марте 2015 года SORCERER выпустили тепло принятый критиками альбом "In The Shadow Of The Inverted Cross". В его поддержку группа выступила на нескольких фестивалях, в частности, на “Sabaton Open Air” и “Rock Hard Festival”, последний из которых встретил музыкантов особенно тепло – еще до окончания сета посетители раскупили весь мерч группы.
В 2015 году свет увидел EP "Black", на котором были представлены три песни, не вошедшие в "In The Shadow Of The Inverted Cross", плюс акустическая версия песни "Prayers For A King".2015 - In The Shadow Of The Inverted Cross [Metal Blade, 3984-15375-2, Germany]

В конце 2015 года группа начала сочинять материал для нового альбома. Работа продвигалась достаточно быстро, и за год у музыкантов появилось 10 новых треков, с которыми они пошли в студию в начале 2017 года.
В ходе записи группа рассталась с барабанщиком Robert Iversen ввиду музыкальных разногласий. Его место на время работы в студии занял Lars Sköld (TIAMAT, AVATARIUM).
В начале лета 2017 года альбом был отправлен на сведение талантливому Ronnie Björnström, работавшему ранее с AEON, CUT UP, и 220 VOLT, а также доводившему до ума предыдущий альбом SORCERER. Мастерингом в этот раз занимался Thomas "Plec" Johansson (SOILWORK, WATAIN). "The Crowning Of The Fire King" увидел свет 20 октября 2017 года.2017 - The Crowning Of The Fire King [Metal Blade, 3984-15549-2, Austria]

Третий полноформатный альбом “Lamenting Of The Innocent” вышел 29 мая 2020 года на лейбле Metal Blade.
На третьем диске в составе шведского квинтета произошли изменения – вместе с гитаристами Kristian Niemann и Peter Hallgren и вокалистом Anders Engberg в группе теперь играют новый басист Justin Biggs (ex-REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE) и вернувшийся барабанщикRichard Evensand (ex-THERION). Они оба привносят в SORCERER кое-что новое, и в целом, группа стала куда меньше скрывать свои источники вдохновения, так что эпик-дум в этот раз расцвечен привкусами прога, пост-метала, классического хэви-метала и хард-рока.2020 - Lamenting Of The Innocent [Metal Blade, 3984-15715-0, Germany]
