In the year 2007 Totleben started to write the first songs. His goal was, musically, to move in those realms that had once inspired him the most. He wanted to interweave the cold and the rage of black metal with the compositionally filigree structure of classical music. Since his work should not be merely instrumental nature, he soon turned to scar base, which he knew from a previous project and was good friends with him. He was given the task to provide the musical concept with a lyrical framework. But Totleben did not want to use more members during his creative period.
The focus was on creating a coherent and sophisticated piece of art. During this time, Totleben spent a lot of time creating artwork and graphics for other metal bands, such as Keep of Kalessin (Norway), Necronomicon (Canada), Imperium Decadence, Lyfthrasyr, and Unlight, where he came across Frostbitten requests. He told him about his passion for this kind of music and his intimate desire to be part of such a band. Totleben said he was passionate about Frostbitten's craft and skill on drums, so he became a regular member of the band, especially since they needed a permanent line-up to play live in the near future. In the winter 2012 appeared the first album, which titled "From soul death" wore. A concept album which, depending on the way of looking at it, dealt with either the cruelty and terror of the night or that of human existence.
