Originally the band was made of four members, but just two months later, the rythm guitar, Carmine De Franco, left the group and "Reapers" remained in three. Unable of continuing in their cover project because of the missing second guitar, the band started playing its own music and betweem July and August were written 5 tracks for the first demo "METALNESS", recorded at the "NoBrain Studios" (Venezia) on December 16th and 17th, with the rythm guitar/singer Luca that covered also the parts for the lead guitar.
