Band history
Steve Henry (Urban Aliens, Empathy Denied, Idiotpathetics) formed the band in Montreal in 1994 . Shortly afterwards, singer Michel Brisebois, bassist Yan Thiel (Exult) and the second guitarist Felipé Quinzaños joined them. The band initially played a mix of grindcore and death metal , using a drum machine instead of a real drummer.
In 1995 the drum machine was replaced by Mathieu Royal. In 1997 the debut album Imagery followed and individual appearances in the opening act for bands like Borknagar , Dying Fetus or Suffocation . After various line-up changes, the second album A Passage To Forlorn was released in 2001 . This was followed by a tour with Cephalic Carnage through Québec , Ontario and along the American east coast.
Truth Beyond was released at the end of 2002 . After small tours through Europe and Canada , Truth Imagery Passage was released in July 2005 , which contained all three previous albums and a few bonus tracks on a double CD. In the same year the album Trilateral Progression was released .
In 2007 the Domination tour took place together with Rotting Christ , Incantation and Malevolent Creation . The live album Live Progression was subsequently released.
On July 22nd, 2008 the album The Thin Line Between was released . The subsequent Montreal Assault Tour was completed together with Despised Icon (with ex-Neuraxis drummer Alex Erian as singer), Beneath the Massacre , Carnifex and Plasmarifle (with ex-Neuraxis singer Maynard Moore).
On February 15, 2011, the sixth studio album Asylon was released. It was produced by Chris Donaldson, who plays together with bassist Olivier Pinard on ( Cryptopsy ).
