一切从2002年10月开始。Sami移居到芬兰首都赫尔辛基并且开始找寻合适的乐团,与此同时Lauri正通过英特网找寻乐团成员。刚开始通过email相互讨论乐队事宜，其后其他的成员被陆续发现。在通过一些排练之后乐队的风格有所定性。
2003三月，Codeon正式以乐团的名义开始演出。他们立刻清楚的认识到乐队的阵容不够完善。成员进进出出直到2003年夏天Vesa的出现。阵容似乎稳定了一段时间, 但是在八月初他们进录音室录制他们的第一张小样DEMO 2003的两个星期之前，节奏吉他手却单飞了,正直的二个星期在乐团之前进入了工作场所记录他们的第一示范，示范2003。于是Sami负责了所有的吉他演奏，录音结束后他们很快找到了新的节奏吉他手。DEMO 2003在受到广泛好评之后，Codeon开始了新的创作而且准备登台亮相。
2004年五月举办了第一次演唱会，而且乐团开始为发布新的小样而做准备。自从他们创作了许多新歌，每个人都希望他们能够发行正式唱片,乐团决定自出经费租用录音室录制EP。不幸地是，节奏吉他手的问题似乎还未得到解决。节奏吉他手经过一年的学习之后，乐团还是决定将他开除。Asko很快出现并且填补了空缺，Codeon 在2004年十月以一个新的阵容进入了录音室。EP被命名为ON MY SIDE，并且在2004-2005冬季正式发售，以新的EP代替了小样。
2005年上半年Codeon在由148支芬兰地下金属乐队参加的竞赛中以第四的好成绩进入决赛，最后获得了第二名。然而并没有引起任何唱片公司的注意, 因此乐团决定到他们的网站上推广他们的EP。一年中他们花费大部分时间用来推广和演奏他们EP的曲目, 直到2005年十月Codeon与DIES IRAE RECORDS正式签约，ON MY SIDE被重新发售。不久，鼓手由于个人的原因离开乐团。虽然乐团每年失去一个队员，但乐团却越发成熟…;…;幸运的是乐团的一个鼓手朋友Joni,将在他们即将来临的演唱会上提供帮助。他和乐团成员相处的很好并且很快变成Codeon的新鼓手。
2006年年初，乐队开始创作并准备录制曲目完整长度的新专辑，但专辑从筹备到创作花费了将近两年的时间，发行一再推迟。而Sami也辞去了他在Necrophagist的工作，在Codeon里专心制作。在2007年，乐队也由原来的DIES IRAE RECORDS厂牌，转为现在的STAY HEAVY RECORDS厂牌
2008年，乐队最终发行了他们的第一张正式专辑《Source》。
Codeon is a modern metal band from Helsinki, Finland, playing technical yet melodic, aggressive metal.
2002
Everything was started in October 2002. Sami had just moved to Helsinki and was looking for a band, while at the same time Lauri was forming one and looking for members via the internet. Over the course of several meetings, the general style of Codeon's music was developed.
2003
Finally, in March 2003 the first lineup was ready and Codeon started to play together as a band. It was immediately painfully clear that things weren't going to work out with the current lineup. Members were going in and out until Vesa was found in summer 2003. In August the band entered the studio to record their first demo, DEMO 2003. After receiving mostly very positive reviews of DEMO 2003, Codeon began writing new material and preparing for live shows.
2004
The first shows were played in May 2004 and the band began planning for a new demo release. However, since there were more than just a couple of new songs and everyone wanted them all recorded, the band decided to book some more studio time and record a self-financed EP instead. Before entering the studio the second guitar player was replaced with Asko. The EP was titled ON MY SIDE and winter 2004-2005 was spent looking for a label, using the fresh EP tracks as a demo.
2005
Early 2005 Codeon placed in the top 4 out of 148 other unsigned metal bands in a Finnish band contest and performed at the finals in Finnish Metal Expo '05. The result of this was a shared 2nd position. Most of the year was spent gigging and promoting the self-released EP, until in October 2005 Codeon was signed to DIES IRAE RECORDS. ON MY SIDE was re-released through the label and Codeon immediately began the writing process of a full-length album. At the end of the year, Jonatan became the new drummer.
2006-2007
The songs for the full-length album were ready in the beginning of 2006, but the seemingly never-ending process of getting it all recorded took two years. Delays after delays for whatever reasons. During this time Codeon only played a few shows while Sami was away doing his job with Necrophagist. In 2007, STAY HEAVY RECORDS acquired DIES IRAE RECORDS, so Codeon now had a new label.
2008
The full-length album, titled SOURCE, will finally see the light of the day. With the upcoming release of SOURCE, Codeon will hit the road again with newfound strength.
