The band released their debut album Antichrist Reborn in April 2022 on Alma Mater Records — mixed by Peter Tägtgren at The Abyss Studio and featuring guest appearances from João Gordo (Ratos de Porão) and Alex Camargo and Moyses Kolesne (Krisiun) — and followed it with A Mass to the Grotesque in May 2024, with cover art by Dan Seagrave.
