In mid-1996, vocalist Élcio and drummer Flávio had the idea of ​​forming a death metal band in Rio Branco do Sul (a town close to Curitiba - PR). Initially death metal grew by the band drawing on sources such as early Cannibal Corpse and other early 90's death metal bands.

The formation at the beginning was composed mainly by Elcio (vocals), Flavio (drums) and Rodrigo (guitar), all from Rio Branco do Sul. At that time, Flávio invited guitarist Gerson Watanabe (who edited the fanzine Hell Itself at the time) to take over the band's second guitar. The same accepts the invitation at the same time, does tests and integrates well into the band. A while later Rodrigo leaves the band for private reasons and the band plays its first show with Elcio, Flavio and Gerson. Precisely in this first show the band finds the bassist Hernan, who later became a permanent member of the band.

This formation lasted a long time and the first fruit was a demo-rehearsal called "Eternal Sufferance" recorded live at a show in Rio Branco do Sul at the end of 1997, with 3 original songs (composed by former guitarist Rodrigo) and another cover of Deicida. Due to the low quality of the recording, the band ended up not publicizing the work much.

From then on, the band began to take on new rumors in the composition of sounds and lyrics, influenced by the new members Gerson and Hernan (who live in Curitiba), who left a sound with strong influences from the North American death metal scene. From there came a demo tape "Elegy To Forgotten Soul", recorded in September 1998 at Studio Solo in Curitiba. In this work the death metal exalted by the band is purer and worked, some fanzines classify the demo as traditional death metal, others say it is brutal death metal. The truth is that the band went through a very big evolution and is starting to be recognized in the national underground scene.

So the band begins to perform several shows in the region and also begins to compose new songs. From 1999 to 2001, the band continued its life, but it had many difficulties that ended up delaying the composition process of the new songs.

At the same time, the opportunity arises to participate in a tribute to the band Death, entitled "Together As One" by the Spanish label Mondongo Canibale. The band then makes a version for "Regurgitated Guts" of the classic "Scream Bloody Gore", being the only band from Brazil to participate in the tribute. With the material recorded, the search for a label to release the CD begins. After several contacts, the band decides to settle with the Black Hole Productions label (Brazil).

Thus, in April 2003 finally the debut album "Descendants Of The Degenerated Race" is released by Black Hole Productions. The following month the band finally finds a drummer, his name is Johnny Rosa. He played for many years at Flesh Grinder in Santa Catarina and took over the drumsticks for Fornication in that year, 2003. The rehearsals are still going strong and in a short time the shows started to be booked.

At the end of 2003 Mauricio Laube (also guitarist for Scorner and Insane Devotion) joins the band as second guitarist. Unfortunately he leaves the band in February 2004 due to lack of time to devote to the band and other professional projects of his. His departure was amicable, with no problems on either side. In mid-April and May 2004 the recording of the second album "Unleashed Wrath" is finally completed (Clinica Studio - Curitiba PR), being released in September 2004 by the Colombian label Brutalized Records. In September, the band's first tour of the old world (Unleashing Wrath Over Europe Tour) begins, covering a total of 9 countries. The band performed in Germany, Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Hungary. All really memorable.
