Sons of Lioth was founded in 2005 by guitarists Sublimo and Supremo. The band released a 5-song demo in 2006 titled ''Destination Earth''. At first, it received a positive response and saw a good review in Mindview. In 2009, they released a full album called ''Legends''. The tracks ''Spartacus'' and ''Last Unicorn'' were included, as well as a live version of ''Raise your fist'' and a bonus track ''Wrecking Ball''. The band split up shortly thereafter in 2010 due to unknown reasons. Unable to promote their new album, it was tucked away for a select audience. In 2013 they released a new EP named ''Large Hadron Collider Spider'' featuring five new tracks, including the title song. The EP got a good review o
