other members were singer Varga Miklós, drummer István Szabó and bassist József Sáfár "Öcsi" who used to play in the band V'73.
Their first single was released in 1981 entitled Halálkatlan/A bolond.

That year they gave a big concert at Budapest Sport Arena together with the famous bands Edda and Karthago.
In 1983 Miklós Varga left the band to be the singer of a Swedish-Hungarian band called Safari. Meanwhile the band Dinamit broke up, so it was obvious to choose Vikidál Gyula as the new singer.
They soon released their second single which contains one of their biggest hit A zöld, a bíbor és a fekete written in honour of the great guitarist Radics Béla who tragically died in 1982.

After 13 years Cserháty István recalled the band in 2001 with new members singer Koroknai Árpád, guitarist Sándor József "Günter", bass player Ferenczy Tibor and drummer Bodó Tamás. The new album was released in 2002 entitled Reményre Ítélve wich contains the following tracks: Múlt és jelen, A szerelem ára, Fantomlány (az eredeti dal újrafeldolgozása), Nekem az éj, Legyek az első, Semmi nem lesz jobb, Álmodj!, Hódítás, Milyen legyen?, Óriás és törpék, Van -e még?, Várj még!, Az én filmem, Árnyék.

Sadly soon after the release of their last album Cserháty István "Pityi" died on the 21st of August 2005. He had been suffering from cancer since the beginning of the year, he spent a long time in hospital and left it for some days only to record the Hammond parts on the new album.
After his death the band gave some concerts with Krisztián Szabó on keyboards, but could not cope with the lack of "Pityi" who used to be not only the keyborad player but the manager and boss of the band as well. They gave their last concert on the 11th of November 2006 in Budapest then closed Pandora's Box forever.

P. Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nem tudod, miért éltél
Tudod jól
Ma minden véget ér
Az utolsó út
Amire félve léptél
Nem tudhatod meg elõre...
Ómen - Jelet küldött rád az ég
Ómen - Megtudod, hogy meddig élsz
Ómen - Sírok közt üvölt a szél
Ómen - Ha meglátod, már nem remélsz
Az idõ megáll
Most megtudod, mitõl féltél
A harang szól
A galamb messze száll
A sors utolér
Megfizetsz mindenért
Szolga leszel, szabad leszel
Halott leszel, már eldöntötték...
Ómen - Segíts egy szegény fiút
Ómen - Te vagy a biztos kiút
Ómen - Ellenem az árnéykvilág
Ómen - Nem adom fel, várok rád
Tudom, hogy engem szolgálsz
Ómen - Jelet küldött rád az ég
Ómen - Megtudod, hogy meddig élsz
Ómen - Sírok közt üvölt a szél
Ómen - Ha meglátod, már nem remélsz
Ómen - Segíts egy szegény fiút
Ómen - Te vagy a biztos kiút
Ómen - Ellenem az árnéykvilág
Ómen - Nem adom fel, várok rád
Ómen - Jelet küldött rád az ég
Ómen - Megtudod, hogy meddig élsz
Ómen - Sírok közt üvölt a szél
Ómen - Ha meglátod, már nem remélsz...
The lyrics to P. Box's song "Ómen" reflect on the uncertainty and inevitability of death. The first verse sets the tone of the song, with the opening line "Vár a végtelen éj" (The endless night awaits). The singer acknowledges that they do not know why they lived, but they know that today marks the end of everything. The second verse describes the moment of death, when one takes their "last steps" with fear and uncertainty about what comes next.
The chorus repeats the word "ómen," which means a sign or portent, signaling that death is near. The lyrics suggest that this sign comes from the heavens and reveals how long the person has left to live. The second half of the chorus paints a bleak picture of death, with the howling wind among graves making it clear that hope is lost once the sign of death is seen.
The final verse reinforces the idea that once the sign of death is revealed, fate is inescapable. The bells toll and the dove flies away, marking the end of life. The singer realizes that they will have to pay for everything they have done, and they have no control over their destiny. The chorus is repeated twice more to close out the song, emphasizing the inevitability of death and the suddenness with which it can come.
