They were signed to Dreamtime, a subsidiary of metal label Peaceville, and released the album "Close Your Eyes (Forget the World)" in 1993.
Following this release Wilkes apparently left the band (although he would appear as a guest musician on their next release), and was replaced by Oko (guitar). With this slightly revamped line-up in place a new album was recorded, released as "Out There Somewhere" in 1994.
The band folded in 1996 due to musical differences.
In 2002 Smith, who had worked with CRADLE OF FILTH and ANATHEMA following the split of SHIP OF FOOLS, took the time to put together a compilation chronicling the explorations of his former band, released as "Let's Get This Mother Outta Here" the same year. « hide |
