In the fall of this year, they started the recording, and on a New Year’s Eve live appearance of the band, the mcd entitled ‘After The Storm’ EP came to life. This three-song debut was the product of the collaboration between the guys and the legendary Japanese record label Alliance-Trax.

In the fall of 2004 the band joined the rooster of the successful uprising Austrian label Burning Season Records, and the full-length album was released in February 2005. In 2005 after recording their 3rd record ‘Hopeless Illusions’ EP, they decided to leave Burning Season Records to join Deadbutcher Records.
