> 1995 - 1997 : Clevdh, Achernar, Crys and Harmst (second guitar) record on two tapes their first songs, in a thrash/death style. The band split during a few months, following the departure of Harmst.

> 2000 - 2001 : Orakle manage to be better known within the French scene, playing live in various places. The three musicians, aged of 20, also compose new songs ("Le théâtre de la nature" actes I et II, "La beauté déraisonnée"), recorded in the end of 2001.

> 2002 : Orakle's 1st "professional" recording is released : a Mcd entitled "L'ineffable émoi... de ce qui existe" (500 ex.) ; this Mcd of about 21 minutes length, completed without Crys (guitars) as he was fired before the end of the recording process, gets a very good response in France and foreign countries.

> 2003 : Following the arrival of Amar Ru (past member of Nihilist) and Nazirpal as guitar players, Orakle starts again to play live in France, and compose new songs, meant to appear on a 1st album.

Nazirpal's departure in june doesn't change this process ; at the end of the year, Melancholia Records offers a deal to release this 1st album, which will be entitled "Uni aux cimes" (9 songs).
