Drummer Vegard Waske, guitarists Frank Johannessen and Andreas Tylden wanted to re-create the sounds of classic rock and metal bands and pair it with the heavier styles of later years.
[citation needed] During the writing of the second album Love and Destruction, lead guitar player Cato Syversrud decided to leave the band.
The guitar work on the album recording was played partly by Syversrud, and completed by his replacement, Geir Marius Halleland.
His successor was Per E Holt, who had played a number of shows as guitarist for Paul Di'Anno together with Halleland and bassist Morten Eriksen.
They were replaced by Disiplin and Mindgrinder drummer Marius "Rex Murdoch" Haugan and bass player Mathias Eriksson.
