history
In 2009 and 2010, the band made the two demo recordings Crushing Metal Tape and Put to Death , each with three songs, which they released themselves as compact cassettes and thus caused a sensation underground . Following this, the band played at some small metal festivals such as the Muscle Rock in Alvesta , the Hell's Pleasure Metal Festival in Pößneck and the Raging Death Date in Neustadt an der Orla . In 2011 the band released the previous songs again as a demo compilation and recorded the debut album Forbidden World , which was released in October on High Roller Records .
