Anthon "Usher" Shield and Chelsea (Reed 013) met in 1977 . Together, they organize performances and play in the noise punk group Metal Radiant, then with the electronic group Coit Bergman. Within Metal Radiant, they play a first cover of the Stooges song I Wanna Be Your Dog.

Anthon and Chelsea decide to form their own group in 1981 , in Dijon , which will take the name of Norma Loy - an anagram of "Nom Royal" (Royal Name). If the formation of the group varies, the hard core remains: Chelsea (vocals) and Usher (keyboards), childhood friends. The band first dabbled in punk rock before moving into cold wave , like many punk bands in the early 1980s . The group is linked to the French fanzine New Wave , which would found its label, and release the group's first EP , the namesake Norma Loy .

In 1984 , the band decided to found their own label, CPM Records. In 1986 , Norma Loy played with the group Fovea and Sumako Koseki. The band released the album Attitudes in 1991 . A successor, "very rock in nature " , was announced but never released. Only certain pieces will be published in the album Baphomet. The years 1991 and 1992 witnessed many changes in training, then Norma Loy decided to suspend her activities in 1993 .

A first new breath is seen in 2006 ; "The performance we performed at the Dark Omen festival (July 21/22, 2006) reassured us about the relevance of this reformation, there remained the line to adopt for Un/Real and the means that had to be implemented to make it exist. , explains Chelsea

In 2009 , after more than fifteen years without a new album, Norma Loy released Un\Real . While touring in support, the band plays tracks from their forthcoming album, Baphomet. In 2011 , the band put their website back online, including many images and videos. As of February 2018 , the website is no longer available.

In 2016 , the group announced the release of a new album, titled Baphomet. The album is mixed in Brussels , Belgium , by Paul Fiction, "which resulted in some epic daily chats to get the coloring we wanted ," says Chelsea. Still in 2016, the line-up includes Anthon, Chelsea, Hervé Scavonne (bass), Mika Chrome (guitar), Guillaume Labaume (drums) and Helene (Buto dance). theDecember 17, 2016, the group gives a concert with the group Prague in Love in Lyon.
