The band released their self-titled EP on Caroline Records in 1989 . This made Charisma Records aware of the band and signed them. In 1990 the debut album World Won't Miss You was released on this label. Guest musicians were Rocky George from Suicidal Tendencies and Chris Goss from Masters of Reality . In late 1990 and early 1991, Fujinama, O'Hara and Basha left the cast. Bassist Angelo Espino ( Hirax ) and drummer Jason Ian Rosenfeld, brother of anthrax guitarist Scott Ian , replaced the line-up.
