Florida's DORIAN, announced in January 2006, was founded by vocalist Jim Dorian, ex-MONARCH, TIDAL FORCE and ANOMALY, and guitarist TOM McDYNE, ex-SHUT and CIRCLE II CIRCLE. The duo laid down pre-production tracks at Shut Up Studios in Clearwater, Florida that same month.

In July 2007 it would be revealed that both Dorian and McDyne were involved with DOCTRINE, a Heavy Metal project founded by keyboard player Dr. Daniel "Dr. Danger" Fasciano, who held credits with TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, SAVATAGE and JON OLIVA'S PAIN albums, alongside drummer Nate Keefer of JERICO STEEL, MESSIAXE, TOKYO ROSE, ELEMENT, TRILOGY, CASANOVA, HEATSEEKER and TAKEN BY FORCE.
