Formed by Jari Mäenpää as a side project when he was in Ensiferum. When the sessions booked for the recording of the first album clashed with an Ensiferum tour, Jari left Ensiferum. The first album was recorded entirely by Jari, apart from the drums which were played by Kai Hahto.
Former Ensiferum drummer Oliver Fokin briefly preceded Teemu Mäntysaari as the second guitarist but left before the recording sessions for second album began.
Jari used to describe the band's genre as "Extreme Majestic Technical Epic Melodic Metal". Later on, after "Time I" was released, he referred to it as "Universal Metal" due to lots of various influences included.
A unique style in composition which also as the old saying preaches "the devil is in the details"...their last album has many for each song...a gem indeed...and a must have also. not recommended for instinct pro headbangers...but totally recommended for those who want lo hunt the little things in a massive album...both albums have that...and the second is even more maniacal in that subject.
Enjoy!

The potential of this band is amazing, specially from his mastermind. I read a few weeks ago what Jari thinks about Time I album production: "No money = Demo quality". For me is a joke, easily one of the best albums I ever listened in my life, a masterpiece!
