Several commercial hits and jam-packed crowded performances after their foundation in 1998 H3O finally decide to bring an end to their careers in 2005 for several motives.
It was at this stage that the long foreseen and postponed project titled Mammut was officially conceived as a band by the remaining members of H3O; the main purpose being the full realization of the aforementioned bandmates' potential, which translated into a more polished and modern sound. Halfway through 2005 the newborn Mammut independently began to work on their first album.
