The band started as a group playing rough death metal, but pretty soon the music started to develop to more progressive and melodic direction. In the beginning, they were known as Caliban for a period of time, releasing all their demos under that name. In 1998, the band changed their name to Kaliban and recorded "The Tempest of Thoughts". This album, however, wasn't released until 2002. The band had gone on hiatus in 2000, but was reformed when their album finally was released. The band also was on hiatus between 2003 and 2005. After reforming again in 2005, the band split-up on 22-11-2007. Participated (as Caliban) on a compilation CD, that was released by X-treme Records, "From the Underground...". With the song "Divine Landscapes".
