History

The band was formed in September 2004 with Katsuyuki on vocals, Takuma on guitars, and Yuuto on drums - all of whom were members of Defiant Manner. A month later, their final member, Keiichi joined the band on bass. After three months they released a 3 track demo.

In May 2006, the band toured through out Europe with bands Insidious Decrepancy and Godless Truth. During this time, the band began writing song for their next release.

The band finished writing 6 songs for their next album near the end of the year. They decided the release would be an EP.

The band finished recording the EP in March 2007. The EP was titled "RE:BEL" and was released on Canadian label Galy Records and British label Anticulture Records in end of 2007.

Near the end of the recording of the EP, Katsuyuki left the band however they soon found new members Kohei Watanabe and Kei Ishida from Vomit Remnants.

On April 29, 2008, Katsuyuki rejoined the band as the main vocalist, replacing Watanabe, and confirmed that they will be working on material for a new album.
