The band was formed in the winter of 2007/2008 by Fulmineos (guitars & vocals), and Tammuz (drums & backing vocals).

The idea started a few months earlier as they were involved in rehearsing in another band, Fogland were they are both founding members and Tammuz re-joined after many years to re-record the first demo and some other early songs from that period.

So after a while, Tammuz asked Fulmineos if they could so something new, sort of a soul/side-project in the spare time and began rehearsing... there was no idea about a certain style, but both persons agreed to do music without any restriction or certainly strict rules.

This retro-black/trash style emerged from their passion for old-school music, band witch they grew up, like: Celtic Frost, Darkthrone or Hellhammer.

After a few weeks a bass player was found in person of, Hatchet who joined with full-force to this project to the band being now complete began rehearsing for it’s first concert, in the local town in Timisoara... it was held in Metal Box as a support act for Hungarian band Sear Bliss... early to that the band recorded it’s first “material” a rehearsal tape... as an advance for live-promoters and friends.

After that some other live performances followed with greek legends Zemial and local bands such as: Nocturn, Opus or Era Ticalosilor.

Rehearsing a lot for the debut material, the trio got to know each other better and to develop their sound into something more personal aura, new and maybe more twisted influences began flowing from Neurosis, Isis, Solstafir or Wolves From the Throne Room resulting into a strange combination of old-school black/trash with sludge and more atmospheric influences.

On the 7th October 2009 the three-pieces ep “Kultika” has been released at Dirigent Recods with a promotional concert in home town. At this event Bucovina, Spectral and Faceplant contributed to a great and unforgetable night.
