Their first recording was undertaken in January 2001 entitled Every Possible Uglyness. Since then they have recorded one more demo / EP, entitled Calculated Act Of Murder
(2002), and two full-length albums (A Pure World Is a Dead World

The band embarked upon a full UK tour alongside Belfast's Condemned supporting Visceral Bleeding

festival in the Czech Republic. The band has also played a number of dates in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
In early 2008 the band signed a record deal with Anticulture Records. Their second album "Hatred, Failure & The Extinction of Mankind" was due for release in May 2008, but was delayed until November due to remastering and new artwork. The original master was reviewed in Zero Tolerance and Terrorizer magazines in May 2008, gaining scores of 3/6 and 6/10 respectively. Online reviews have been disparate to these scores, generally being much higher.
