Her self-titled EP was released in 1998 and a split release with Aurinkokerho via Impression Recordings the following year . The debut album called To Whom It May Concern ... in the same year also via Impression Recordings. Appearances with Eighteen Visions, Terror and Entombed followed. During these performances, drummer Jani left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Henrik 'Henkka' Furu.
The EP Fire Inside was released in 2001 via Combat Rock Industry , on the drummer Furu could be heard for the first time. In the following year, Jani Koskinen was joined by a second guitarist. This was heard on the album Never Fall Into Silence , but was replaced by Juho Angervuori shortly after its release. This was followed by tours with Sick Of It All, Converge, Cataract and Heaven Shall Burn.
In 2003 the EP Hit and Run was released , which was followed by the album Burning Bridges the following year. This was the last release on which drummer Furu could be heard before he was replaced by Pekka Hänninen. This was followed by other tours in which guitarist Angervuori left the band.
The next album The Time Is Now was released in early April 2006 in Sweden on Combat Rock Industry and in the rest of Europe on Lifeforce Records . Tapio Vartiainen joined the line-up as the second guitarist, but he left the band in early 2007. He was not replaced, so the band continued to play with four people.
