The band formed in December 1997 from the ashes of other local hardcore bands. The original line-up was Kobbi (guitar, ex-Urban Skate Fanatics), Fede (drums, ex-USF as well), Haim (bass, ex-Wackout, Shma Israel), Adi (vocals, ex, uh, about half of the local bands ever: Public Domain, Ethos, Useless ID, Shma Israel, Nekhei Naatza - and also played with Negative Impact for a while) and Federico (ex Nekhei Naatza and temporary member of USF). The name was chosen as an effort to bring the sublimed bloody facts of Zionism and Israel's history back into its collective consciousness.
After rehearsing for a couple of months, we were ready to make our first appearance, as the only hardcore band in an all Black/Metal gig in the city of Haifa, held in April 1998. That show was interesting, despite the fact that we only managed to play a couple of songs (see interview in Profane Existence for details)...
