The band was formed in September 2024 in Zhytomyr (Ukraine) by members of various other well-known Ukrainian projects (ex-Drudkh, ex-Lucifugum, ex-Blood of Kingu, Lutomysl, Bestial Invasion, Cosmic Jaguar, and Violent Omen). The band’s style is characterised as Death Metal with elements of Doom and Dungeon Synth. The main concept and theme of the band is alchemy and its various forms. In a short period of time, the band recorded a 4-song mini-album, Three Primes of Alchemy, and shot a video for the song Solar Sulfur with guest vocalist Anira.
In the spring of 2025, the band recorded their debut album, The Mortificatio, featuring guest vocals by Trevor Nadir from Italian death metal legends Sadist on one of the tracks. In the autumn of the same year, the album was released on the Ukrainian label Nocturnus Records. The band is currently working on songs for their second album, which they plan to release in the second half of 2026.
