History

They were formed in 2013, Copenhagen, where their first EP "Breaking Free“ was released. In 2014 they released their second EP „Scars“.[1] Everything that frontwoman Maja Shining and Multi-instrumentalist Mikkel Haastrup achieved until now has been produced by the band members themselves.[2] Over years they organized their tours, took photos, made their cover art and music videos as well as recorded, mixed and produced everything on their own. "Tied Down" was recorded together with Flemming Rasmussen, who formerly worked as a producer for Metallica.[3]

After releasing their EP “Save me” in 2015, they toured in the United Kingdom and Italy. After that they released their first album “Tied down”. In August 2016 they signed a worldwide contract with Nuclear Blast. Tied down was then re-released by their new label and nominated for a Metal Hammer Award for "best debut album". It was critically acclaimed and the band became even more popular. In the fall of 2016 they were touring through Europe with the Italian metal band Lacuna Coil[4] and in the spring of 2017 they toured with Children of Bodom. In 2017 they opened the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air. The band has since then played multiple festivals across Europe like Sabaton Open Air and Summer Breeze Open Air. In 2019 they released their second album "Breathe In Colours" via. Nuclear Blast and in the fall of 2019 they toured the album with Cellar Darling and Beyond the Black throughout Europe. In the winter of 2019, they'll be joining the Female Metal Voices Tour together with Leaves' Eyes and Sirenia amongst others.
