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.

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.
