After being together as a band for four years, they recorded and released their first EP in 1997 titled Cause Moshing is Good Fun under Psychodrama Records – the band's own label.

The band's second EP Elemental Evil (1999) was once again released through their own label. The nine-track disc led them to open for many well-recognized acts including Coal Chamber, Incubus, Anthrax and System of a Down.

[edit] The Darker Side of Nonsense (2000 - 2003)

In 2000, the band signed a record deal with Roadrunner Records. After signing with the label, the band was forced to change their name due to another band owning the same name. They briefly changed their name from Hinge to Hinge A.D., but ultimately settled upon Dry Kill Logic.

On June 5, 2001, their debut album The Darker Side of Nonsense was released. The band spent the better part of 2001 and 2002 on tour, performing around the world with such bands as Fear Factory, Kittie, Ill Nino, Spineshank, Saliva, Slayer and many others. The album went on to sell approximately 100,000 copies worldwide.[1] However, due to Roadrunner wanting "a more commercial sound on the band's sophomore [second] effort", the band decided to part ways with the label in October of 2002.[2][3]

On October 5, 2004, the band released their second major album The Dead and Dreaming, via Psychodrama Music Group with deals through two independent record labels – Repossession Records and German label SPV Records. This ensured a simultaneous worldwide release schedule.

On June 27, 2006, the band released an EP titled The Magellan Complex, which was a lead up for the band's upcoming album. The disc includes three songs and a bonus DVD consisting of the music video for "Paper Tiger", a live performance/interview piece from the Otep/American Head Charge tour (February 2005, New Orleans) as well as behind the scenes footage of the band on tour.
