History & Biography
Claudio Reaper established the solo act in 2007 and began focusing on fantasy topics. Musically, the man was inspired by Teutonic metal. It was only in 2020 that Ancient Tales, the band's debut, was released. It was meant to be the first part of a trilogy about an attack by the dark legions. Ancient Tales was also so named because the songs had been composed, on and off, between 2008 and 2015. The process of putting the album together instead had begun in 2017.

Drummer Fabio Tomba joined in 2021. He too was in a dozen projects. Next in was Lorenzo Nocerino (Silverbones and Destination 5-11) as the vocalist. Emma Salerno (Baulè) and Marco Rosa (Azrath-11) were backing vocalists. Alessandro Visintin was at first a guest second guitarist, but ended up becoming permanent. Arcane Tales was the second chapter in the adventure led by Turok (a dwarf warrior born in the lands of Whitestone), Regdar (a wizard raised among the towers of magic in Gundor) and Erevyn (a half-elf exiled from her homeland of the Black Moon).
