Black Reign was formed in Wollongong in 1993 and drifted apart by 1998. In 2001, Dimovski laid down some tracks solo for the first release, ritualistic and archetypal metal with a thrash influence. He put a full line-up together for shows shortly afterward. This line-up featured bass player Manuel Azevedo and drummer Warren Bunting. Bunting was then replaced by Tim Yatras. Black Reign split up sometime after the second release but by late 2003 Dimovski had reformed the band once again with the current line-up.
