Formation and debut album
The first members of the band included Stephanus Adjie, bassist Ahmad "Jojo" Ashari, drummer Anang Farid and guitarist Imam Santoso. Their first show took place in early 2000 for a street punk gigs in Semarang. The first line-up change occurred when drummer Anang Farid left the band and was replaced by Doddy. The addition of guitarist also occurred with the joining of Imam's brother, Sigit Pratama. Throughout its career, the band had several line up changes since its inception with Adjie and Jojo being the two original members left today.
It took nearly 8 years for the band to release their debut album, Simponi Kebisingan Babi Neraka. The album was preceded by the departure of drummer Doddy and the arrival of his replacement, Wahyu "Uziel" Jayadi. Released in 2008 through Belukar Records, the album quickly gained attention from the fans due to the fact that the band frequently played several songs on the album years before its release.
Line-up changes and second album
The sibling guitarists Imam Santoso and Sigit Pratama left the band in 2010, leaving the band with no option but to find the replacements. The band held an audition and finally recruited two guitarists, Rio Baskara and Moses Rizky. On August 2011, they entered the studio to begin recording of the second album Himne Perang Akhir Pekan. After two years of recording and finding suitable record label, the album was released in September 2013 through Sepsis Records, preceded by the single Prosa Kesetaraan.
By the time the album was released in September 2013, the band performed in Rock In Solo festival. Previously, they also had played in other Indonesian metal festivals including Bandung Berisik in 2011, and Hammersonic Metalfest in 2013.
