The band was formed in the summer of 1998 by Ádám Kulcsár (guitar) and Gergely Kulcsár (drums) in a little North-Hungarian town, Pásztó. The initial purpose was the creation of a unique pagan black metal that bears effects of the Hungarian atmosphere, but not by using clichés or usual motifs.Some time later Balázs Sz..si joined the band as a singer, and then in 1999 they found a second guitarist, István Markó. The band started to elaborate the style and some songs were written, but they could not find a bassist in the area so there were no gigs.In 2000, the majority of the band moved to Budapest. Unfortunately István had to quit since he remained in Pásztó, so the band continued in trio. Being in the heart of the country, they met many musicians and built up long-term relationships. The lacking bassist was soon found when they asked a friend of the band, Richárd Orosz (Screamflood, Masqim Xul, ex-Atropos, ex-Desperation) to join them. He is a guitarist, but was open to try himself as a bassist. This turned to be an excellent move, for a unique style could be elaborated. With this full line-up, serious work could be started, motivating the band.Since then they were busy working, they participated in some gigs and have recorded the first material, an EP which was recorded at Elysion Studio, Békéscsaba. The CD was released in June 2003.The EP got good reviews which motivated the band to work on. 2 years passed with songwriting and the band started recording the first full-length album in summer 2005. Of course many hurdles hindered them but the material is finally ready (Jan 2006). They are busy finding a label now....
