In October 2015, Janus posted a now-deleted note on Facebook announcing the band would finish its activities, but that she would continue to make music. Guitarist Blake Meahl, however, dismissed her statement as a consequence of her health and mental issues, and said the band would continue to perform.
Style
The band's style has been observed as classic heavy metal with influences of thrash and dark metal. The songs feature frequent screaming by lead singer Janus who is classically trained and has a vocal range of four octaves.
