Side project of Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer and Blind Guardian’s Hansi Kürsch. The idea for the band arose in the spring of 1997 when Kürsch and Schaffer wanted to make music together, after being friends since Blind Guardian and Iced Earth toured Europe together in the early 90s. The band name comes from the 1972 Uriah Heep album of the same name.

On February 1st, 2021, Hansi Kürsch announced his departure from the group, due to Jon Schaffer’s participation in the U.S. Capitol riots the month before.
