Formed by three former members of Incantation.
Split up around 1992 but reformed in 2001 by Paul Ledney and two new members.
Wicked Warlock joined the band in 1992 for one gig, and recorded the unreleased album "The Raping of the Virgin Mary", which had its master tapes destroyed in studio. Interestingly, the unreleased album was advertised by Osmose and showed what would have been the final cover art: (Zine Scan).
Some of the tracks from the unfinished full-length album were recorded and released as "Dethrone the Son of God" (along with a few other tracks).
A track entitled "Passion of a Liar" was recorded in July 2004 and released only in mp3 form at first. It later appeared on "The Enemy of Virtue".
Paul Ledney was the drummer for a G.G. Allin back-up band in 1988 called "The Connecticut Cocksuckers". Aragon Amori was in the Hardcore band "Sealed with a Fist" who released one 7" vinyl in the 1990s.
