Biography
Beginnings
The band would officially start in late 2012/early 2013 when Luca would start an EBM solo project named Beating Signal, at the time it was only Luca and he would release Kannst du es sehen? which then featured his vocals on it, this release would be the first song for a apparent debut album that has gone unreleased which was called Keine Hoffnung.[2] Later on in the year, Luca would get Basti in on the project and they would make a few more songs, such as Bei Dir, which would later turn into Casket. At this time they would also rerecord Kannst du es sehen? with Basti's vocals. In August of that year, the band would play their first show, although it was a private concert, this would be the only time they would play Bei Dir before it was turned into Casket. Later on, in November they would play their first public concert as an opener for Madheads.
Album announcement and release
Throughout 2014, 2015, and 2016, the band would perform numrerous shows while also creating new music, among these new songs, 2 new songs would be released in early 2014 on Captured Life, these would be Captured life and Dreams Came True. Soon after the release, the two musicians would get Mickaël to join the band as their manager and to start the backing tracks live and thus the main trio was completed. They would then perform their first show as a trio while debuting a few songs, such as Replace the heartbeat. At this time they would make a new song called The Story in which the lyrics inspired them to make their first full length, as well as the title for it, Time for Reality. First though, they wanted to work on all of their songs while playing live, as to get a feel on how the songs should go, this would lead to Kannst du es sehen?, Forsake, Blood Everywhere, Swallowing Tears, and Forget me all getting reproduced with new instrumentals and vocals. In 2018, they would release their 2nd single, The Story. Around this time, they would officially announce their debut album at various shows with a planned release date for the summer of 2017. That summer came and went, while they played shows, the album went unreleased, they then said it'd come in the summer of the following year, which also went by without nothing, this would be due to Luca not being motivated enough to mix and master any of the songs, eventually in 2019, Basti and Mick would tell him that they would leave the band if he didn't work on the mixing and mastering, which got him motivated enough to start working on it and from late 2019 to autumn 2020, they would work on mixing the album, next would be planning how to release the album and all of it's artwork. This would take around a year to work on, and in 2022 they announced the album, and in summer of that ear, they released it. At the end of 2022 however the band would make an announcement that Mick had left the project due to differences regarding the future of the band, and since his departure, the band has remained inactive.
