JUNE 2004

“To Exist & Endure” is released & is met with a killer response throughout the worldwide Metal underground scene. The band’s mix of Traditional Heavy Metal melody with Savage Death/Thrash Metal sparks the interest of old school freaks & younger fans alike.

Eberl as full time members in 2005, Zdenka, Ash, & Jesse journey on, & create what is by far their best & most accomplished work.



APRIL 2007

“The Craft of Contradiction” is finally released. Sonically, the album is an onslaught of Thrash tinged Death Metal laced with punishing melodies, sheer neck-breaking precision & jaw-dropping vocals of pure destruction.

Various shows are played & the album gains positive reviews from every Metal realm.
