The band was formed in early 2005 by vocalist Danchou, under the name Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGoD (新興宗教楽団NoGoD). They held their debut performance on October 19, at Akasaka L@n, with a lineup consisting of Danchou on vocals, Aki and Kyrie on guitar, Karin on bass, and K on drums. On November 12, the band released their first demo single Kimi ni Okuru Bukiyou de Migatte na Uta (君に贈る不器用で身勝手な詩). They spent the rest of 2005 and beginning of 2006 performing with other bands in Tokyo.

In July 2006, the members were signed under Art Pop Entertainment and released two singles, Akafukyō (赫布教) and Kurofukyō (黒布教) in the following month. Also in July, guitarist Aki left, but was subsequently replaced by Shinno.

In April 2008, the band released their first studio album, Mugenkyō (夢幻教), which reached #6 on the Oricon Indies chart.
