It was formed in 1986 by singer-songwriter-guitarist Jouni Mömmö [fi] and lead guitarist Arto "Otra" Romppanen.
Mömmö wrote all the lyrics for the group, and the texts often dealt with topics filled with religious symbolism, personal revelations, the apocalypse, death, psychedelia, insanity and stories of love gone wrong.
One of their final efforts was to re-record vocal tracks with English translations of some of their songs from Totuus palaa in order to achieve a possibility of success abroad.
These songs were "Totuus palaa" (retitled "Truth is Burning"), "Ilmestyskirjan peto" ("The Beast"), "Kuolla elävänä" ("To Die Alive") and "Ketä sä rakastat?"
In 1998, lead guitarist Otra Romppanen started to compile song material out of old 4-track demos, rehearsal tapes and notebooks.
Sami Tiilama did most of the vocal parts, and Antti Litmanen from Babylon Whores featured as one of the guitarists on the album.
