Songe D'Enfer was formed in 1993 by Fog as a one-man project.
In 1994, Hashcloud, Lechis and Reston joined and with this line-up they recorded the demo "My Visions In The Forest",

that stood out amongst the few South American acts as having a very mid-90s European symphonic black metal sound.
Lechis left the band after the recording of the demo in 1995 and was replaced by Alexandre Kaffer in the beginning of 1996.
Hofgodhar joined in 1996 and was kicked out in 1998 over ideological differences.
The band hoped to release "My Visions In The Forest" on vinyl and record a new album in 2008, but have since parted ways.

The DVD "Live In Piracicaba" was released in 2008 by the band in an unknown limited amount of numbers.
Miasthenia was formed in early 1994, idealized by Hécate (vocal/guitar), Vlad ( bass/vocal) and Mictlantecutli (drums).
In 1995 they recorded the rehearsal-demo “Para O Encanto Do Sabbat...” that was distributed by Sound Riot.
In 1996 they recorded the demo "Faun - Trágica Música Noturna" in which they started including the keys to their music.

Hécate took place on the keyboards/vocals and the bass and Vlad the guitars and vocals.
At this very time began the proposals for concerts and because of that they decided to invite Mist to handle the bass.
In 1998 they had the demo "Faun - Trágica Música Noturna" re-released through Evil Horde Records

in a split CD together with the demo "My Visions In The Forest" of their countrymen Songe D'Enfer.
Since 1998 the compositions started basically from the keyboard lines and their lyrical themes gradually influenced

by pagan South American mythology and by the wars for the conquest of South America in the 16th century.
In 1999 Vlad left the band and Hécate took all the vocals along with the keyboards.

In order to have a full line-up they invited Thormianak to play the guitars.
His influence from the 80's metal school added a strong personality to the sound of the band.
From 1999 to 2000 the band worked on the production of its first album "XVI" released through Somber Music.
In 2004 they release the album "Batalha Ritual” and invited to take part in a mini tour as opening act 

for the Belgian band Enthroned and the Brazilian band Evilwar.
In 2005 Mictlantecutli (drums) left the band and was replaced by Hamon (Mythological Cold Towers, ex-Spell Forest).
In 2006 the band returns to the stages and performs some concerts in southeast of the country

and also in one of the biggest metal festivals in the country the “Brutal Devastation” in Belo Horizonte.
In April 2008 they release the conceptual album "Supremacia Ancestral"

that was inspired by a South American pagan resistance movement or sect against the indoctrination

in the colonial South America and based on Pre-Colombian profanations and apostasy.
From 2014 to 2017 Miasthenia released two more albums, "Legados Do Inframundo" and "Antípodas".
