Deviant was formed in 2002 by Johan, Magnus and EB in Uppsala, Sweden located one hour north of Stockholm. The band was joined by singer Alx and recorded a rehearsal in 2002 and a self-titled demo in August of 2003. The act signed to Italy's The Spew Records in the spring of 2004 and began recording an album in the same year. Having recorded the album at EAR Studio Deviant also recruited bassist Fredrik of the band Inception. The album was issued at the end of 2005 having endured much delay. Gustaf Jorde of Defleshed guested on the album. The band was practically disbanded by 2006.
