The Retrosic project was born in April 2001 with the release of the debut "Prophecy". The Retrosic's second release, "Messa da Requiem", reached the top of the
Deutsche Alternative Charts in 2002, and was named "Album of the Year" by the Dutch Alternative Charts.

Two years later, "Nightcrawler" was released, introducing breakbeat rhythms and guitar sounds into the group's sonic palette.
