They have steadily gained strength by hosting live events in their hometown of Beirut where they play songs by Dream Theater, whom they openly cite as a major influence, In 2015, they released their first album, "Disequilibrium."

In March 2021, they released their latest album, "Frontal," worldwide, establishing themselves as a leading band in the next generation of prog metal.
