Consisting of Milan Mockovฤiak (guitars, bass), Tomรกs Vaฤพa (guitars, keyboards), and Viktor Halรกsz (vocals, guitars), the members wanted to reflect the band member's own interpretation of progressive metal. Between 2001-2004, they released their self-titled debut album and "Life 2 Wait", then they disbanded for various personal reasons. In 2018, the original line-up reunited to update the songs from these albums, re-record them and release them as "III" in 2021. The band is also writing new material for future releases.
Other bands that have a similar style are PENTESILEA ROAD, HEYOKA'S MIRROR, MASTORD, RAVEN SAD and SIMULACRUM.

Reflections Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me that story once again
If I could only hear it once more
Maybe I'd find all of the happiness
I had before
Lay by my side, mesmerized
In this void, there is infinite time
I hope I find you in another life
Goodbye tranquil thought
Every second is so distraught
Dear time, where did you go
All I see are dying trees
As I stare through my window
My heart is empty now
Inside this abyss
I know that I will drown
Nothing lasts forever
And so to me it seems
As the days grow evermore
I have no words to speak
Now the question is
Have I moved on
What was my only purpose
Now simply feels gone
Every part of me used to be you
But as time has brought us through
I began to see a different view
Who is this person that I have become
So attached to being someone
We are only an idea
In our own mind
Breathing in and wasting life
I fear I feel nothing anymore
Nothing matters the way it did before
People only care
In the order of the numbers
Either you're a slave
Or you will be among the forgotten
As the curtains close
All of what comes must go
This was never my home
Inside my soul
I am alone
In "Coda," Reflections talks about the passage of time and how it can change things. The song begins with a request for the wind to tell the singer's story again in the hope that he might gain some happiness he had before. The singer then speaks about being in a void where time seems infinite, and he longs for a connection with someone to be his. He laments the fact that everything is fleeting and how life eventually becomes meaningless.
The chorus brings a realization that the singer's heart is now empty, and he feels like he is drowning in an abyss. The passage of time has changed him, and he doesn't recognize himself anymore. The second verse talks about how people only care about individuals in the order of numbers and how society is structured to enslave people. The knowledge that everything ends is the only thing that gives some meaning to existence, and the singer hopes to find a better place for his soul. The song ends on a sad and lonely note where the singer feels alone and lost.
