Founded by Dmytro "Kumar" Ternuschak, the band weaves period speech samples, battle sounds, and archival recordings into dense, historically grounded compositions across albums including The Blind Leading the Blind (2018), Where Fear and Weapons Meet (2021), and Viribus Unitis (2025) on Napalm Records. Their meticulous conceptual approach and emotional weight have distinguished them within extreme metal's crowded field of historically-themed acts.
