The band consists of Fabienne Erni and Jonas Wolf, who are immensely popular in Europe and also active in the popular Japanese band Elvei, and up-and-coming film music composer Milyam Skall, forming a symphonic metal band. The mixing was handled by Joost van den Broeck of After Forever, who is very popular with big European bands such as Blind Guardian, Powerwolf, and Epica, and who also produced the vocalist of Nightwish.
