Date of birth: winter 2000. Grows up eating spoonfuls of modern metal flavoured with
industrial, electronic music and whatever comes to mind (in a word: crossover).
The lyrics bleed out from the many wounds of this modern world, wounds inflicted by
the man to his brother, his child, his environment and, ultimately, to himself.
The early years are spent firing stages all around the local area, whether in small clubs
or huge festival venues.

resulting in a contract with KILLERPOOL RECORDS.

leap forward, and top-level magazines (Metal Hammer, Metal Shock, Legacy,
Rock Sound) spread the buzzing, along with tons of webzines.
Meanwhile, California-based street fashion label IRONFIST CLOTHING (which dresses
up stars like Avril LaVigne, Tokio Hotel, Gogol Bordello, Behemoth) makes Overunit
