Myself and the rhythm guitarist/singer got together for the first time about 2 years ago now, and just messed around for a while. After a little time we asked a friend from school if he would like to drum for us, and he accepted. We performed a little bit and got positive feedback. We didn't stay together for very long however. The rhythm guitarist/singer and I joined another band with different friends but that didn't work out. We got back together with our previous drummer and we did that for a time, until the rhythm guitarist/singer left the band. The drummer and I worked together for a while until the rhythm/guitarist decided to rejoin. From that point we have written most of our best material, and have recently got a bass player, completing our lineup. We are writing new songs constantly and hope to start gigging soon.

Our biggest musical influence are probably the metal bands of the 80's and early 90's, like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Dream Theater etc, though we are influenced by bands like Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Lately we have been getting more into people like Michael Angelo and Yngwie Malmsteen and I think this comes through in some of our playing.
