The band was formed in 1989 with three people. The band began with Dero Goi, Anderes Crap, and Robert Flux. Throughout the 21 years that the band has been together there hasn’t been a single line-up change.
The band uses four different styles of their music, Metal, Industrial, Alternative Rock, Electronica, and Gothic.
