Wardrum were originally fronted by Uli Jon Roth's Italian singer Piero Leporale, while front-man Yannis Papadopoulos joined them as lead vocalist in early 2012.

The Spadework lineup performed live only once, opening for Crimson Glory's show in Thessaloniki on 22 October 2011.

In February 2012 the band parted ways with Leporale and found a local singer, to be more flexible and work easier.

Yannis Papadopoulos took over the band's front-man position and they immediately recorded Desolation which was released on 25 April 2012.
