Formed by the duo Mark Railton (music, synths) and Jordan Robbins (vocals) from Melbourne, this band got their start in the late 90's amidst the turning tide of electronic music influencing gothic rock and the launch of the digital age of music. They put together their debut album 'Ancient Curse' for a release in 1999 on the UK label Nightbreed Records. This release quickly gave them some exposure in Europe as well as in their home country of Australia through the many live performances the band would do. After this debut release, the band took their time to study out and work on their follow-up work titled 'Rapture'. This album would really gain the group some great exposure around the world including more live gigs in Europe, positive press and DJ reviews and left everyone wanting more.
Many may have given up hope after the long delay, but 2006 finally saw the release of their third album 'Ascension' on Ground Under Productions (which subsequently closed down after this release) and in Europe through Endless Records. The music on all albums is a combination of soaring electronics and synths on a techno / trance beat, moving fast and heavy, but incorporating some guitars and symphonic structures for a definite goth feeling. Jordan's vocals vary from heavy, deep, brooding and dark to soaring male ethereal that captivates the listener's heart.
