The group advanced to the final, where it was placed fifth of six contestants with the song "Absolutio".

Formed in 2011, the band consists of three members performing under the pseudonyms "Martinus Bass" (vocals), "Domenicus Bass" (synthesizer and electronic harpsichord) and "Davidus Bass" (percussion and samples).
