History
The group was created after problems with the label that its predecessor Seelenkrank had. Female vocals were originally performed by Katie Roloff and Nina Bendihkayt on the debut album Child of Glass in 1999 . The first album turned out to be successful, but the group ceased active two years before the release of the second Seelenschmerz album.
