Founded in January 2021 by vocalist and guitarist Melissa Ângela — known for her work with Dirty Grave and Mães Morrendo — alongside guitarist Pedro Barros and a rhythm section spanning multiple cities, Melissa plays slow, heavy doom metal drenched in dark psychedelic tones. Their debut "Devil's Mask" (May 2021) drew obvious nods to Black Sabbath, Pentagram, and Saint Vitus while carving out a moodier, occult-tinged atmosphere, with "Lost in Space" arriving in 2024 to expand the band's catalog.
