Nick attributes the band name to his love, passion and belief for the music and that’s why he gave this name to the band. The band has elements from power/speed/thrash/progressive and heavy metal. On 18 March 2010 Nick told to his best friend Nick Kaltsanas who played the guitar that he want to create a band and he is in a way of searching members, then asked him if he want to be the one the guitarists in the band. Also, Nick spoke to one of his friends Nick Sidiropoulos who played the drums and explain to him the situation of making a band and asked him to be the drummer. They agreed with the idea of Nick and they went for the first rehearsal. They played good and it was only the first day. They played one of the Iron Maiden and Megadeth songs such as The Trooper and Tornado Of Souls. But it was missing something. The bassist of the band and the lead vocals. Then Nick spoke to John Eustathopoulos who played the bass and asked him if he want to join as the bassist of the band. Also he told John Karvelis who was the singer of the Slither band, to join as the lead vocals. Then were ready for the second time at studio. After a couple of days Karvelis told to Nick that he doesn’t want to be in the band for economic reasons. Then Petros Kristallis join the band who was the singer of Breath. The first live took place at the beach of Volos on 31 April 2010. They played covers from Metallica, Iced Earth , Megadeth , Scorpions and one own song which called Tragedy Of God. They played well for the first time in front of the crowd. At the end of the May when Pitsioris and Sidiropoulos got angry together for personal conflicts, Nick fired Sidiropoulos from the band. For a couple of days it was missing one drummer from the band. In the middle of June Nick asked Aggelos Dimakopoulos, one guy that he was met at the soul recording studio, to be the drummer of the band and he agree. In a couple of days Nick also spoke with Petros and told him that he must leave the band because he wasn’t interested of. Then Nick elected to take on vocals duties himself in addition to play the guitar. They played 3 lives together and recorded their first promo cd at soul recording studios during the summer of 2010. It released on 13 September and called Living Dream. Also it was content 4 songs.
