2015, Loch Vostok rose out of the collapse of progressive metal band Mayadome in 2001. Drummer Teddy Möller was tired of the cheese and decided to start something meatier - Loch Vostok was born. Three core members - Möller, keyboardist Sebastian Okupski and bass player Erik Grandin - set about formulating a new band. Möller would switch from his erstwhile role as a drummer to that of lead vocalist/guitarist and with the incorporation of former El Presidente guitarist Niklas Kupper alongside ex Imperial Domain drummer Alvaro Svaner the band was complete. However, Grandin was to relocate to the USA and so former Mellow Poetry guitarist Tomas ´Tym` Jonsson stepped in to fill the bass vacancy.
