Conceived in 1998, the band signed to 'Avantgarde Records', and in May of 2000 released the 5 track EP Of Entity and Mind featuring dark progressive symphonic music and the membership of Lars Eric Si (a.k.a. Eikind; ex-(Enslavement Of Beauty, Khold, Age Of Silence); vocals), Carl August Tidemann (ex-(Arcturus, Fleurety); guitar), Jan Axel von Blomberg (a.k.a. Hellhammer; ex-(The Kovenant, Mayhem, Arcturus, Immortal (Norway), Troll, Emperor, Fleurety, Thorns, Mezzerschmitt, Shining, Jorn, Age Of Silence, Mysticum, Kovenant, Ulver, Vidsyn, Eibon, Mortem, Antestor); drums), Andy Winter (ex-Age Of Silence; keyboard).
The band would soon thereafter record their debut full length Reflections of the I, and signed with 'The End Records' for North & South America. The full-length album, Reflections of the I was a concept album of sorts best described as the next chapter following their EP. Utilizing a full string section (courtesy of members from the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra) the album was a seamless mix of classical music oriented Metal with clean vocals, dark progressive guitars, philharmonics, classical piano and floating synthesizeresizeresizers. The Imaginary Direction of Time would be the follow-up in 2004. Prominence and Demise (2007) followed.
Footnote: Drajevolitch (vocals), Hans Josef Groh (cello) and Vegard Johnsen (violin) have been guest members, while Helge K. Haugen (a.k.a. Kobbergaard; guitar) and Paul S (bass) have been session members of this band.
