The band was started in 1998-‘99 as a experimental group whose eagerly passion about Progressive Music like Dream Theater and Rush. All original members luckily were college schoolmates in their respective school. The following line-up are Mr. Jessy Trinidad, Bass guitar/co-founder, Mr. Anthony Rivera, Guitars/co-founder, Mr. Eugene Rivera on drums (ex-sonnet 58) and Mr. Jonathan Espiritu ..boards. Before, the group only played cover songs from Dream Theater and Rush. Hence after, one of the main objectives of the band is to focus on creating original material and to educate the entire listener. In unavoidable reason, Mr. Eugene Rivera (drummer) wants to leave out the band because he wants to concentrate in his new group Sonnet 58. Then later on, Mr. Espiritu (keyboardist) also leaved the band because of his personal matters. In ‘1999-‘2000, Mr. Rivera and Mr. Espiritu were both replaced by Mr. Edison for Drums and new acquired keyboardist Mr. Demster Orcales. Then after how many months, for personal reasons once again, Mr. Edison also left the band. After looking for a perfect replacement for the drummer position, Mr. Paul Magat of Kabaong ni Kamatayan helps us for a while to session for a couple of months. Looking forward, Mr. Lester Banzuelo applied for the band to finally fill-in the drum section, referred by Mr. Rodney Vidanes (of Fuseboxx, thanks to him.) And then Lester’s friend Mr. Hernan Haduca helps us for a couple of vocal assistance. There are times also we ask for help of Mr. Ken John Bello a classical pianist when Mr. Demster Orcales is not available. But for now, year ‘2007-08 the group is still searching for a drummer and they are now in process of recording their original compositions for there upcoming first album. GENRE: Actually, the band has several influences that have been emulated and adapted in different styles. The group is exploring now on the style of Technical/Extreme Progressive Metal.
