They released their first album Prepare for the Judgement of Mankind in 2005 which was received with much critical acclaim.[1] The final track on the debut album is a cover of the Deadly Blessing song "Deliver Us From Evil". The song features a special guest, Ski, who himself was the singer for Deadly Blessing and has formed his own band called Faith Factor. Ski had applied to replace the departed Rob Halford in Judas Priest when Halford left the band in 1993.[2] The album has been re-released by Alone Records.[3]


The band released their second album Overlord in the spring of 2008, which also received very positive reviews from metal zines around the world.[4] The album contains a cover version of the song "Forbidden Evil", by the Bay Area thrash band Forbidden. This album is also being re-released by Alone Records.[5]
