1) An oldschool Sludge/Thrash metal band from Louisiana, United States. The band is a direct precursor to legendary Sludge band, Acid Bath. 2) Jose Castro (Keyboardist/Lyricist) started to compose many songs in mid-2002, influenced not only by classical and opera music, but also heavy metal and goth metal. Mixing them all together seemed impossible at first, but after a while Jose succeeded in combining metal with classical, e.g., string melodies and heavy guitars simultaneously.
