GARRIDO Guitar And LUISMA HERNANDEZ Bass With The Intention Of Reflect In Their Music A Melodic Metal With Progressive And Aggressive Dyes. In 1997 NACHO RUIZ Joins The Band As Guitarist And Vocalist Later He Decicated Only To The Vocals. In This Period A Mixture Of Ideas From The Three Composers Gave Its Fruit And There Appears Songs Of The Current Setlist With Certain Celtic Influence. MAMEN CASTANO Became Another Incorporation Since The Group Needed The Support Of A Female Voice For Sweeter And Softer Tones. NACHO ARRIAGA's Incorporation Drums ROSALVA ALONSO Keyboards And ALBERTO AVILES Guitar Carried Out Throughout 1999. The Same Year The Band Recorded The Demo "At The End..."
