The band appeared at [[Screamfest]] at the end of the year before releasing their debut album mid-2010, supported by a national tour. They toured with '''Amon Amarth''' again the following year and also opened for '''Despised Icon'''. During 2013 they appeared at [[Sonic Forge]] for the third successive time. A new album was released in 2014 followed by a tour with '''Children of Bodom'''. Late in the year ex-[[Schimachy]] vocalist and stand-up comedian Mitch Alexander replaced Julian Detar. After returning from an Asian tour with '''Fleshgod Apocalypse''' in 2015, [[Orpheus Omega]]'s Chris Themelco replaced Justin McDonald.
