They started out activities abroad in Europe and debuted stateside in 2005 for their very first American headline tour, hitting San Jose, San Francisco, and Dallas. In the fall of the same year they played Europe once more and returned to the West Coast of America, opening for Genitorturers, playing in 8 states. In 2006, they released their first album in Europe and received tremendous response from local fans. They were also among the last few bands to play at the legendary rock club CBGB in New York. In the summer, they were invited to participate in the Wacken Open Air metal festival in Germany again garnering vast attention from press and music lovers. In winter of 2006, they headlined a European tour, appearing at 14 venues in 8 countries, with their popularity only growing forth. In July 2007, they are also slated to appear at rock festivals in Finland.
