History
The group was founded in 1997 by Orion , Daray , and Heinrich. Then Annahvahr and Hatrah joined the group (the latter left the group in 1999 and was replaced by Siegmar).
The first album, Moonastray , was a split with Black Altar , released in 2002 only in Poland via Odium Records . The circulation of the record was 666 copies, and each of them was signed in blood. In 2003, the European release of their first full-length album, Firefrost Arcanum , took place on Empire Records . Following this, Annahvahr left the group. The second album God the Lux was released in April 2005, and soon Valeo (Sammath Naur, Mortis Dei) joined the band as lead guitarist. The third album, Distractive Killusions , was released in 2007 via Napalm Records, and the first single from the group Rage of Reason was taken from it. On October 25, 2014, the new album Deus ex Machina was released.
On February 1, 2018, on the official page of the group, there was a message about the death of the guitarist “Valeo”:
“He loved life more than ever we would love. Full of joy, independent, free from desire and condemnation. We all should have taken an example from him. He was an outstanding musician. He never wanted to complain about his state of health or declare about the problems, even given the fact that he had fought with a terrible disease for a very long time. Our friend and guitarist Marcin Valeo Walenczykowski died this morning. The lights went out. The curtain is down. "
