They have members from For The Glory, Blacksunrise, Riding Panico and Mushin, Miguel - vocals/guitar; Carlos - guitar; João - bass; and Carlos BB - drums. They've started doing shows in Portugal because of their ep, a powerfull rock with sludge/crust riffs, and some hardcore drums, when Sérgio was still the vocals.
