Szwedzki zespół gothic/doom metalowy powstał w 1994 roku w Säffle. Na początku, kapela interesowała się raczej kierunkami melodyjnym heavy/death metalem z naleciałościami black i występowała wtedy pod nazwą Kerberos. Jednak w tym samym roku 94 do grupy dołącza Anders Jacobsson i ekipa zmienia nazwę na obecną. Zespół ewoluował w kierunku doom metalu, gdzie wkradają się również elementy gothic. Ogólnie nie przepadam za gothic i raczej omijam szerokim łukiem to co wiąże się z tym nazewnictwem. W tym natomiast przypadku posłuchałem i jest to naprawdę fajne granie, gdzie ten element goth jest podany w niewielkich, a na pewno nie pierwszoplanowych muzycznych brzmieniach.
