The band quickly stood up and started to play several gigs in their local area, and soon shows appeared abroad in their schedule. Spending their year to establish a base for the further actions, they realized that it was time for them to create their first record. In the fall of this year they've started the recording, and on a New Year's Eve live appearance of the band the mcd entitled After The Storm came to life. This three song debut was the product of the collaboration between the guys and a label from Japan called Alliance-Trax. The band HQ was satisfied with the result, and decided a future plan with their Japanese fellows in crime. In the first days of the new year an order arrived from the country of the rising sun: Get in the studio now!
After three months of work their debut album titled Brand New Way, Brand New Situation was recorded in late 2004. At the fall of 2004 the band joined the team of the successfully 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 and join to Deadbutcher Records what is owned by their good friend Mikita, who helped them in many ways during the past few years.
