Elysion were founded by guitarist Johnny Zero & singer Maxi Nil who soon welcomed the other band members on board.
They recorded and self-released a demo album in 2006/2007 with songs written by Zero & Nil. The demo generally resonated well amongst critics and received good reviews in webzines and magazines, earning "Demo of The Month" in the Greek Metal Hammer Magazine and 2 Fillipos Nakas awards (Philippos Nakas Conservatory) in 2006.
In 2008 the band and Nil parted ways and Christianna joined as the next frontwoman. They entered the studio for the recordings of the debut album, which soon attracted the attention of numerous record labels, leading in signing up with Massacre Records. In the next months, mixing and mastering of the album, which consists mostly of lightly reworked and rerecorded versions of the songs on the demo album, was completed
