Formed in 1995 and initially disbanded in 2000, the band released two albums and an EP on Screaming Giant Records.

They played "old-school" hardcore punk, and though their music never appeared in a polished form, it was said to "never hold back the passion.

Their 2002 EP Control is an Illusion marked a notable shift towards a new symphonic death metal-based sound, leaving behind much of their original punk influence.

In the summer of 2003, before the release of the album, the band asked lead vocalist Chad Wiggins to leave, intending for Casey Wisenbaker to take vocals, and hiring bass player Mark Popovich from an Officer Negative side project, the death metal band Akeldama.

The album was essentially praise and worship music, and was described as "the Sex Pistols meet Bob Dylan.
