Versatile musician Mark Jansen (Epica) started this side project together with keyboardist Jack Driessen (ex After Forever) to produce some heavy and technical death metal combined with Jack's trademark symphonic arrangements. Upon bringing in guitarist Frank Schiphorst, great chemistry emerged. Songs started popping out in no time, combining neck-wrecking technical death-metal riffing with huge melodic symphonic parts on thunderous drums topped by Mark's complex and thought-provoking lyrics through his brutal in-your-face grunts and screams. As the project evolved beyond expectations, the three members decided to turn it into a band and really go for it. Arikn van Weesenbeek (Epica, ex-God Dethroned), Isaac Delahaye (Epica, ex-God Dethroned) and Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Pestilence, Obscura) completed the lineup. A new metal super group was born!
