Sin Bandera was formed spontaneously: Leonel García (from Mexico) had the idea to be soloist, he showed talent on guitar and voice, but his project never took off with the record companies.

Fullmoon Bongzai was born through red clouds and holocaust winds in Patras, Greece. The intense allergy to conventional expressions and beliefs and the need of expressing the inward form and affinity between different musical genres led to the first album called Noisense (2008). You can say that is something between psychedelic industrial black metal and algorythmic noise, with respect to the sprit that Darkthrone carved in everyone's soul. No actual vocals were used (except three songs with the participation of Stefan from Varathron), but vocal samples stolen from Diamanda Gallas, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Timothy Leary, Willie Dixon, Stellakis Perpiniadis and...
