[edit] Recorded Material

The band has self-released four full-length CD’s and one EP to date, which have received radio airplay and reviews locally, nationally, and around the world. Response is widely varied, as shown by the band’s 2006 LP “Evil Never Dies”. It appeared on KTUH FM’s “Loud Music” chart as a requested album, as well as winning Harder Beat Magazine’s “Worst CD of 2006” award. They have also appeared on interanationally distributed compilations such as "Knuckle Tracks #99", and Hawaiian Express Records "METAL: Made in Hawaii". For one week in 1998, the song 'Deathscythe' garnered enough downloads to place #3 on MP3.com's world-wide Black Metal chart.
