Everything began in the year 1999 (and seven months) when a deathmetal band called AGONIA split up. Guitarists Timo Aspiala and Aki Holma, cantor Heidi Parviainen and bassplayer Toni Pynnönen continued their musical career together. No more growling.
Along came an old friend, drummer Markku Näreneva and singer Ilja Jalkanen. It might have been year 2002 when Toni Pynnönen decided to retire. Then there was Teemu Tuominen playing the four stringed stick, and then vocalist Ilja.
In those days (the dismal autumn and winter of the year 2002) was the first official EP, DARK, recorded. The recording, mixing and mastering was done by own hands and with a great help from Atte Tanskanen, the organist of a Heavy metal band called Kiuas. The result was outstanding considering that DARK was born in a rehersal shack with own recording equipment.
In the year 2003 the present basist, Lasse Carlson, was invited into the band. Thus was the present line-up in a heap and the world was doomed.
