1995. First born as a trio (Jaakko, Lauri & Ville), the band goes through a few changes in lineup, finally ending up with five members (with Jari Salminen, Elias Revonta). First demo is recorded 1997. In a few years time, more changes in lineup end up in Leo joining the band and the band that is now 4 guys, but no vocalist.

2002. ‘The Shores of Evermore’ is released with pretty good reviews.

2005. ‘Shadow of the Sun’ is recorded. To release it, the ancient Soundi-magazine’s demo of the month award is utilized. The print is only 100 copies, so the whole thing is released in the web. Pay Day single is recorded for X-mas.
