The band was formed in 2001 and the members consist of Daniel Lioneye, also known as HIM's Mikko "Linde" Lindstrom, on vocals and guitar, Mikko "Mige" Paananen on bass, Ville Valo on drums. The band released one album in September 2001, The King of Rock'n Roll. The title track to their album later became the theme music for MTV's Viva La Bam.
On April 27th, 2010, Daniel Lioneye released their second studio album Vol. II an extreme metal album with a revised line-up of Linde on guitars, vocals and bass, Burton on keyboards and Bolton of Enochian Crescent on drums. Vol. II takes a drastically different turn that The King of Rock'n Roll, incorporating various other genres in, most notably black metal.
In 2011, Daniel Lioneye introduced Manu as their lead singer/screamer and Seppo on drums, not only resulting in an edgier line-up, but also becoming the embodiment of the Scandinavian sound.
