They played slow and heavy traditional doom metal with dramatic vocals, following in the footsteps of bands such as Saint Vitus, Pentagram and Black Sabbath.
During 1997-98 the band relocated to Turku. All the band members have lived in Lohja, and Albert is currently living there. They pay homage for their hometown by using the "Lohja Power" text in the backcovers of their releases.
The band had planned a totality of five albums "Songs from the Funereal World" being the third, "Heavier Than Life" the fourth and "How It Was Meant to Be" the fifth and the last album. However, the band abandoned this plan and released only three albums before splitting up:
- In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend (2002, Spikefarm)
