The group evolved from the former band Amnesia, created by guitarist Jonatan Hallberg together with Christoffer Cederstrand (guitars) and Pontus Andrén (drums). In 2019, the lineup was completed when bassist Robin Utbult and lead vocalist Gustav Blide joined the band.
The band's first release was the single Wasting Away, which arrived in 2020.
Fire to Ice — the first full length album — was released in January 2025 through the US based record label Stormspell Records. A second edition was later made possible via the German label FHM Records, which also produced a vinyl release.
We are five metalheads who love creating and performing classic heavy metal with high pitched vocals, soaring guitar solos, and thunderous bass and drums.
Our biggest influences include the iconic acts Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Queensrÿche, and Helloween.
Together, we aim to carry the spirit of traditional heavy metal into a new era with energy, passion, and unwavering dedication.
