Year 2000: The band moves the first steps, and between year 2000 and 2001 come out with two autoproduced demos. Many magazine are interested (EUTK, babylon magazine, movimenta) and the combo formed by Antonio "Tonjo" Bartalozzi (guitar and vocals), Simone "l'iso" Isolani (guitar), Stefano "borrkia" Toncelli (drums), and Thomas Santarsiero (bass) keeps on make music with perseverance. In 2005, after the recording of their debut album, Simone and Thomas leave the band, but Antonio and Stefano want go on...so, after a while Lorenzo "Frencc" Franchi and Bruno "Brunello" Salvadori join the band.... The "maldestro" quartet will be another time complete and more crazy than ever... In december 2005, finally the debut album comes out (label videoradio, and artistic production by Sandro Ferrini). The critique receives this album as a fresh blast of air, in a musical scene that is becoming flabby and always less hazardous... Some web portals like Metallus, Hard sounds and rockOn insert the album between the best releases of 2005, and the single "metamorfosi plausibile" arrives to the first position of "made in italy", the ufficial chart of the best italian acts by radio rock fm. After, also "fase 5: metabolismo" will remain to the top for over a month.

In spring 2006 starts the collaboration with the agency Alkemist - Fanatix europe to provide more promotion to the album. In june 2006 the band choses to realize an english version of its debut album recording another time voices, guitars and basses... In january 2007 the band is selected by "Sporco impossibile" (temporaly free booking and promotion agency) together with other 3 italian bands for the second edition of sporco impossibile, that will finish with a concert in rome at "circolo degli artisti". In the same period begins the realization of the videoclip for "metamorfosi plausibile" directed by Luca Madonna and inspired by the german expressionist cinema.

In february 2007, Brunello decides to leave the band, who has a new album in embryonic phase and a list of concerts to do... the band is ramshackle, but it doesn't give up, and starts to explore new frontiers... in summer 2007 the band join "Volterrateatro" caracterized for its show on the road, and after a month realize a film, directed and interpreted by herself. In September 2007, after months of research for a guy to play low frequences, the band find Davide "Dado" Mei and restarts the writing of the new album at maldestre farms. The italian-grotesque stable is reborn again, die hard, impossible to be buried.
