Between 1999-2004 the band toured the UK and Europe extensively, with acts such as Raging Speedhorn, Will Haven, Therapy?, Napalm Death and many more. In 2001 they released their debut album 'One Inch God' which received significant coverage from the rock press, with Metal Hammer magazine calling it 'The most confident and self-assured debut since Iron Maiden'.

The band received coverage from BBC Radio 1 and MTV2 which secured appearances at Reading & Leeds Festivals and Wembley Arena, supporting Slayer.

2003 saw the release of the band's sophomore album 'Ray Zero' which mixed elements of punk and hardcore with the band's metal influences. The album received positive reviews and radio play from the likes of John Peel.

The band's final release 'For Us It Ends When We Drown' was released in 2004 and supported with a UK tour before the band disbanded in December of the same year.
