History
Upsilon Acrux first appeared on record on a 1998 compilation entitled Trummerflora 2. Soon after they contributed a song to a compilation entitled Before the Pirates Came. They went from a 4 piece to a 3 piece before releasing 2002's Last Train Out. They expanded to a five-piece, including two drummers for Volucris Avis Dirae-Arum in 2004. By 2006 they had done away with the dual-drummer setup, and signed with Cuneiform Records later in the year. 2007 saw the release of their first album for Cuneiform, Galapagos Momentum. They have just released their sixth full-length album, entitled "Radian Futura," on May 19, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
