Initially the group’s musical style was heavy metal with elements of progressive. Since the group’s concept was not to go in a purely instrumental direction, but rather to produce a more eclectic style, it was essential to find a vocalist. In the absence of a lead singer they made no public appearances. The product of this period was an instrumental studio recording , which was never distributed, which is the sole trace of their music during that period. In the summer of 1997 the band was joined by vocalist Péter Budai who had also earlier been vocalist / guitarist in another Gödöllõ group.
The previous stylistic direction of the band was somewhat modified, achieving a more mainstream sound with the combination of new musical elements. Their music was grounded in experimental heavy rock / metal but with a dominant role for elements from Hungarian folk music. The English lyrics were mixed with significant excerpts from the texts of Hungarian folksongs. Metal Hammer, the biggest metal magazine in Hungary, wrote in its last issue: ‘Their music could at best be described as: Tool meets dark Hungarian folk music’.
In August 1998, the band played at the 13th Annual Talent Competition in Ugod, winning a special award.
