History & Biography
Founded in 2002, the band recorded a couple of 2005 demos, a self-titled 2007 demo and appeared on a split with Death Is Easy in 2008. Someone called Dear Skull Records pressed the Wasteland album in 2009. The band was Ian, Isho and Dru. The group was heard of two years later on the Tundrastruck split. Earlier, in 2010, the band's song Necronomicon found a place on the soundtrack to the film Fubar II. A couple of demos and re-releases of older tracks followed. An EP appeared on Heavy Artillery, which duly went broke. The band toured Europe in 2014.

It was only in 2017 when a new album from the band appeared. Midnight Rider featured Ian, as well as guitarist Simon, bassist Andres and drummer Tony. The record, and other EPs, was re-released by High Roller two years later. High Roller issued the third album. Live At Katacombes was a 2021 demo, which was recorded in Montreal. The band played sporadic shows in 2021 and 2022. A new album did emerge in late 2022. The band played several local concerts and a show called Metal Immortal in the USA in 2023. Arango joined the live line-up of cello-laden alternative band Kapitur as well. Metalian was slotted to open for Satan in 2025.
