The band was formed in 1987 in Genoa and their primary influences were NWOBHM and the early doom metal scene (Pagan Altar, Trouble, Black Hole, etc.).
Music varied from raw heavy metal to slow doom metal with atmosphere of horror movies.
Lyrics were based on occultism, obscure tales and horror stories.
The band performed some live sesions at Genoa's Hobbit Studios between December 1987 and February 1988, but the songs were never released at that tome and in 1988 the group disbanded (the members subsequently formed other bands: Malombra, Ianva, Helden Runa, Il Segno Del Comando, Ballo Delle Castagne, Egida Aurea, Recondita Stirpe).
In 2004 the original tracks recorded in 1987/1988 have been digitally restyled, totally re-mastered and collected onto compilatiom "Et In Arcadia Ego", released by Black Widow Records.
