After long lasting searching for a suitable bass player they found David to be their bass player. They produced a demo-cd called DARK SUN in July, 2006. After the release of this demo, David left the band after about 10 months of playing. So the band was forced to look for another bass player, who should fit their interests.

This formation is on stage since October 2006 and they played support-gigs for Misery Speaks, Neaera , Caliban, Bleeding Through, All Shall Perish and I Killed The Prom Queen.
They describe their musical style as Metal/Hardcore/Screamo.
