Outfit assembled following guitarist Logan Madar's high profile ousting from MACHINE HEAD. After Mader's temporary stint as live guitarist for SOULFLY he formed an alliance with ex-THORN, CRISIS and SOULFLY drummer Roy Mayorga, ex-OZZY OSBOURNE and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES bassist Robert Trujillo and former UGLY KID JOE and LIFE OF AGONY singer Whitfield Crane. This new band was titled PALE DEMONS.

The band had evolved into MEDICATION by mid 2000 as Trujillo and Mayorga opted out to join the OZZY OSBOURNE band. Mayorga's stay lasted a mere three weeks before he made his return. In 2001 Mayorga, Trujillo and Mader all guested on the debut INSOLENCE album. Mayorga would be back in the news, announced as having rejoined SOULFLY.

In mid February 2003 MEDICATION announced they were no more. That same month ex-bassist Robert Trujillo joined METALLICA. August 2003 brought news that Vocalist Whitfield Crane had formulated a brand new studio project in alliance with former FAITH NO MORE guitarist John Hudson. That same year Crane united with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' Rocky George to cut a version of 'Master Of Puppets' for the METALLICA 'Metallic Assault' tribute album through Big Deal Records.

Whitfield Crane returned in early 2006 fronting ANOTHER ANIMAL, this project a collaboration with Shannon's fellow GODSMACK members guitarist Tony Rombola, bass player Robbie Merrill and drummer Shannon Larkin.
