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:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
