Those five musicians were Tim Roth, Daniel Nargang, Chris McDougall, Scott Krall, and Jim Austin. The musical goal that they shared was an idea of combining progressive rock-styled passages with death metal-ferocity. Following this dream, the group released a couple of demos, and then, in 1999 released their self-titled album on their own label. The group signed to DVS Records and the album was reissued on that label in 2001. ~ Gary Hill
