history
The band was founded in 1986 by guitarist Osvaldo Civile, who previously worked for the band V8 . A short time later, bassist Marcelo Dogo, singer Hugo Benítez and drummer Gabriel Ganzo completed the line-up. The line-up of the band changed several times in the following years. So bassist Eddie Walker left the band to join the group Lethal . In return, Claudio "Yankee" Ortiz, guitarist from Lethal, joined the band. However, this left the band a short time later. In 1990 the band released their debut album Reinará la Tempestad . In 1992 the second album Oid Mortales el Grito Sangrado followed .
In 1995 singer Christian Bertoncelli, previously singer with Imperio and Renacer , joined the band. From 1997 he was replaced by singer Walter Meza, who previously worked for Jeriko , Decay and Samurai , among others . The band then appeared on the cover of Epopeya magazine . For the cover picture, Oscar Civile chose a motif in which he was playing cards with the Grim Reaper at a table.
