Band History
In 1993 Richard Lederer, depressed about the results of his band to compose their own tracks. Shortly thereafter joined Michael Gregor ( Summoning ) to him and brought his own ideas into the individual songs. She then founded The banished children of Eve.

After they had released two demos, they got a contract with the Austrian record label Witch Hunt Records. In March 1995, the first album was followed by The banished children of Eve, which was named after the band 's own.
After the first album had come on the market, Nora El Shammah left the band because she did not like their music. Shortly after leaving Michael Gregor this because he wanted to concentrate on his own band Summoning more.
