History

The band was formed in 1998 by Denis Arsenin (bass), Edgar Kempish (drums) and Alexey Syomin (guitar).

In 2001, the group self-released a demo recording made during a rehearsal, Live Without Audience. The main theme of the record was history of Medieval France.

Later in 2001 more members joined the group: Ilze Paegle (classical trained soprano singer), Lilija Voronova (keyboards) and Sergey Syomin (Archlute, Baroque guitar).

In 2002 the band was signed by the French music label Soleil Zeuhl and released their debut album, Gramercy. The album consisted of 5 tracks and lasted more than an hour.

After the successful debut album, the band was invited to many important festivals, including InProg 2005 (where it had the honour to open the second day of the festival), Proguary 2005 and 2006 (Latvia's first and most important progressive rock festival), and BalticProgFest 2007 (the biggest Baltic progressive rock festival).

On 6 September 2007 the band announced that they had finished recording their second album, with the working title Cherdak. The band also said that the new album will be released on a new record label sometime in 2008 and will consist of 4 tracks.

In November 2007 the band went on tour to promote the upcoming album. The album itself was released in 2008 under the Italian label Mellow Records.
