Keep Of Kalessin was founded in 1995 and after recording their demo, the band got signed to italian label Avantgarde Music for whom they recorded two albums, "Through times of war" (1997) and "Agnen - a journey through the dark" (1999). In the year 2000 the band was put on ice because of personal disputes, but the band was brought back to life in 2003 by guitarist and songwriter Obsidian C. when the EP "Reclaim" was released. The EP hit like a bomb in the norwegian metal underground and expectations on what was to follow was the talk of the scene for nearly three years before the band was re-inforced with a new line-up and ready to release the massive new fullength album.
