It has always been a dream of vocalist Els Prins to start a full female Death Metal band, but she didn’t seem to find the right group of girls to make this dream reality. Until she met guitarist Simone van Straten. They got along very well and discovered their mutual love for Death Metal. Soon they realized they shared the same vision in music and decided to form a band. They crossed ways with drummer Amber de Buijzer and bass player Marjolein van den Nieuwenhuizen and started rehearsing, aiming to earn their spot in a man ruled genre. They released their first single 'Boundaries’ in July 2014, showing the world how brutal all female bands can be. Since August 2014 they are bringing their music to the stage. In May 2015 bass player Marjolein and Sisters Of Suffocation parted their ways and Puck Wildschut became the new bass player.
