Bilocate wis foondit bi the brithers Ramzi an Waseem Esayed an thair friend Hani Al Abadi, an got stairtit when thay wur joined bi guitarist Baha' Farah, an later bi guitarist Rami Haikal.

Thair first full-lenth album, Dysphoria, wis released in the winter o 2005, an received significant airplay on the local governmental radio station Jordan FM, wi a 5-oor shaw bein dedicatit tae the baund an the album on October 27.

Bilocate addit a new drummer, Ahmad Kloob, in late 2006, an stairtit preparin for a new album.

In Julie 2008, Sudden Death Syndrome wis released,[2] mixed an mastered bi Jens Bogren (Opeth, Bloodbath, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, an ithers).
