Formed by Maggiebeth Sand and Mark Powell, the band has been active since the early 2010s. They have carved out a niche for themselves within the folk and metal communities by combining traditional instruments like the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and cittern with modern synths and heavy guitar riffs.

The band has toured extensively across Europe, sharing stages with established acts in the folk and metal scenes.
