Band Bio :
Karl Lean was a founding member and bass player for Australian cult metal band Nothing Sacred. Sacred carved a path of sonic assault across Australia for 10 years, recorded an EP ("Deathwish") and two albums ("Let Us Prey" and the unreleased "Nemesis"), and gigged continuously throughout the Eastern states of Australia. After the demise of NS, Karl did session work and guest gigs with a number of other Australian Metal bands including Angel of Death, Ion Drive, Spawn, and Antarctica.
In 2004 Karl began solo writing of new material. With several arrangements underway, the next step was finding a vocalist with the sound and style to complement the music. A single session with Kelly was all it took to confirm that something rare was taking shape. The arrival of Kelly instantly transformed the songs under development. Drawing from her experiences in the live music scene, she brought a freshness and soulful quality to the music. Her lyrical creativity, keyboard arrangements and haunting vocal melodies provide a perfect counterpoint to the crunching guitar tracks.
