The band was born in 2002 in Vienna & Korneuburg, but only completed in 2008 through the joining of Chiara on the lead vocals. The first female fronted show was in the same year, followed by the first EP (available for free download only) in 2009. After numerous shows the independently released debut Album "Collapse" marks the first huge achievement for the band, which finally found their own sound compared to their first EP. Remarkable for this album is the fact that it was a DIY approach: The band was responsible for the production,mix and artwork but was supported by James Stephenson (who did the mastering), Manuel Zechmeister (who provided the cover art) as well as various guest vocalists (professional and amateur) on the song "Rise of Blades".
Friends of the band and members of the befriended bands Machines & Madness (Germany), Shadowdance (United States) and Heathen Foray (Austria) lend their voices for the final chorus on this song.
