Formed by Øystein Garnes Brun in 1994 as an outlet to create more melodic music and to push the boundaries of "traditional" black metal after growing tired of the simple brutality of his previous band Molested. The band did not record a demo; once Øystein established the first line-up, they were offered a contract with Malicious Records pretty much straight away.
