The April Weeds Era
The band originally formed in 2004 with the name April Weeds. In 2007 they released an unofficial, home recorded demo album titled "Songs From The Old House". After playing few gigs, the constant line-up changes caused the band to go dormant and went silent. In 2010 the band went through a reboot and because of the name similarity with marijuana, changed its name to April Weeps.

The new members who joined the band were: Roland Danics (drums), Pál Horváth (guitars), Norbert Frick (growl, scream) and Michal Borbély (base). Later in 2012 Marta Somogyi (vocals) joined the band. In 2013 the band released their first debut album, titled "Outer Calm, Pain Within", featuring 11 tracks.
