Began as a one-man project in 1998/1999 created by Anthony Kaoteon under the name Chaotaeon (from the merger of Chaotic and Aeon). They were forced to change their name after an incident with the authorities in which they got arrested. The police thought that Chaotaeon was the translation of devils from Arabic, which led to false accusations that the band is Satanic.

On 20 December 2003 while the band was playing live, a handful of undercover police entered the club with automatic rifles. Cops took the band hostage, locked them in the trunks of unmarked cars, and interrogated them for days, shuttling them from one location to another. A dozen others were arrested at the gig, including fans and bar managers. They were accused of backing music that Lebanese leaders believe is a front for Satanism.
