The band felt the English translation of "rough line" fit their style and the biological themes in their songs. Founded in November 2011, Linea Aspera are influenced by electronic bands from the 1980s. A reviewer reporting on a gig in January 2012 noted that their music sounded "very '80s", and that they had "sprung fully-formed" from the musical underground of East London. That month self-releasing an extended play cassette, titled Linea Aspera EP, it was described by the Burning Flame website as number one in their Top 20 EPs of 2012. Signing to Dark Entries Records, the band's first album, Linea Aspera LP, was released on 25 September 2012. Brought out digitally and on vinyl by Dark Entries, a CD release was produced by the German company Genetic Records. Each LP was contained in a jacket sleeve designed by Dovile Shurpo and accompanied by an insert listing their song lyrics. Linea Aspera disbanded in January 2013. Zoè Zanias formed Keluar with Sid Lamar from Schwefelgelb and later decided to go solo under her Zoè Zanias moniker. On 16 September 2019 Linea Aspera posted "Hey, we're back!" on their Facebook page and announced a number of gigs in Europe. A year later they self-released their second album, LP II. (en)
