After several years and one cassette recording Bruises, the band expanded the lineup with the addition of Hylgaryss (keyboards), Sombre Cÿr (percussion, bass) and Eliane (violins). After the release of their second album Royaume mélancolique singer Marquise Ermia left and was replaced by Dame Pandora.
