The group formed in Debica, Poland in 1998, but with a very different line-up. Recorded their first 4-track demo in 2000. Their music is a blend of the band members musical fascinations, mainly based on the combination of heavy guitar sounds and classical string instruments.

A metal band from Poland who proclaim Christian beliefs, is pretty cool, if you ask me. So great was the joy when this demo reached my house. At first I was put off by the fact that 2 of the 3 songs are in Polish language. I don't own any CD's with any other languages then English, Swedish or Norwegian, simply because it usually turns off my interest. But after hearing the songs, my fears were gone. I actually prefer the Polish songs on this demo. The music is great, mixing classic heavy metal with doom, death, violins, cellos and some female vocals. The third track is my favorite, it has this killer combination of all the above mentioned components. I hope this band survives, and that they manage to get a proper CD out. Better production, and also English lyrics, might take these guys (and girls) far.
