The group was formed in 1992 in Wroclaw, Poland, from the action of Grzegorz Jurgielewicz stepping out under the pseudonym "Anextiomarus" (electric guitar, bass guitar, singing) and also Tom Balrog (percussive instruments). In this personnel band records a demo entitled The Dawn Will Never Come (1993) and also several months later material promo entitled Damned Majesty into which diet's parties of keyboard instruments realized playing in group Graveland Robert Fudali pseudonym Rob Darken. On breakthrough 1993 and 1994, Tom Balrog leaves the group and is replaced by Capricornus on percussion.
