The band was formed in October 2006 by guitar player Asaf Peretz and drummer Nick Osmanov the former band mates of the Beer Sheva based band Illuminati [Melodic Death Metal]. The idea came up at a beach party at the beach of Ashkelon city. Then at that fateful day they asked 3 other musicians to join their lines – Sagi Reuven a former bass player and vocalist in the band Military Grave [Death/Thrash Metal] ,the bands Sophia and Anus suffocation, The former guitar player – Daniel Gurfinkel and the last fucker was Jaron ["HAWK"] Avittan – lead vocals former singer in the bands Anus Suffocation [Thrash/groove] and Leviticus [Doom/ Prog '].
They all knew each other for a while. The band actually was supposed to be only a side project for everyone in it, approximately for only one performance, when everyone agreed that the band's musical style was to be Metalcore . It kind of changed in time. Anyway, after the performance at the Be'er Sheva based bar "CHICKA" with 320 crazy metalheads banging their heads, they decided all together, to make Orpheus note their main band, Sagi & Yaron left Anus suffocation.
After a while guitar player Daniel left the band because of personal and other issues which will not be mentioned. A few months later old friend and guitar player Yaniv Dekel filled the empty guitar spot and after few shows and recording a single Yaniv left the band because of musical disagreements. The band decided to stay as a quarter with only one guitar player, and yeah we are stronger than ever!
