It started life as a cello-driven band, yet after various line-up changes, they focused on creating their own sound, mixing elements of , and , taking influence from bands such as Neurosis, Godspeed You!

The concept was based loosely around their own interpretation of the mythology in the novel Watership Down by Richard Adams.
