It was founded in 2013 by Ronny Thorsen, once the symphonic gothic metal band Trail of Tears was separated.
After almost two decades of to exist Trail of Tears, the differences between some of its surviving members had become unsustainable; in consequence, they decided to go their own way in early 2013, prior to the release of their seventh studio album Oscillation.
Thorsen quickly gathered his former colleagues in Trail of Tears: bassist Endre Moe (formerly Dimension F3H and Cutthroat), and drummer Bjørn Dugstad Rønnow (Sphere).
Thorsen asked to join at the prominent singer and multi-instrumentalist "Morfeus" (Krister Dreyer), who was already known for his work in other Norwegian bands such as Mayhem, Limbonic Art and Dimension F3H.
With the material at hand, it became clear that the sound needed a female voice; after a hearing with more than two dozen singers from around the world, they elected the Norwegian soprano Miriam "Sphinx" Renvåg of the avant-garde metal band Ram-Zet as the last piece of the group.
