Z początku projekt muzyków z doomopochodnych klimatów, a następnie zespół. Wszystko zaczęło się jeszcze, gdy Pantera święciła triumfy i Phil Anselmo chciał pograć sobie klimatyczny metal mocno osadzony w muzycznej tradycji Nowego Orleanu, a co za tym idzie bagien pełnych aligatorów, dziwnych opowieści spowitych w zielonej mgle.
Tak oto powstał w 1991 roku - mniej rednecki jak macierzysta kapela Phila - jeden z pierwszych zespołów southern metalowych, tworzony też przez kultowych sludgowców.
Trzy znakomite płyty i dwie dobre epki.
