Les Friction took shape, when the music group E.S. Posthumus, which had given various music themes to movies & TV series such as: Minority Report, The Matrix Reloaded , The Time Machine, Avatar, Lost and Heroes among others, officially split up after the death of Franz Vonlichten, who had formed this project along with his brother Helmut. After a while, Helmut joined forces with Nihl Finch and the singer `Paint to complete the debut homonymous album.
