During the years 2008-2009 IDVex created the project Lothron in Florina Greece, with the collaboration of other musicians released the two songs "The Whisper of the Sea" and "The Resemblance of Inexistence". Under the lack of finding band members the project disbanded.
In the winter of 2013 (13 February 2013) IDVex formed 1/2 Southern North (read: Half Southern North) as an one person band in Kalamata Greece. The musical compositions are characterised by heavy melodic lines, languid and sluggish tempo and by the use of prolonged sonic scenes. In addition, the themes of the lyrics are inspired by Mythology, Left Hand Path Philosophy, Occultism and personal experiences. In a nutshell the band is influenced by different sound fields as Black Metal, Doom Metal, Experimental and Avant-Garde Music.
