After major disputes with Cacophonous over promotion and album rights, the band eventually found a new home at CenturyMedia Records,
andreleased their album Imaginary Sonicscape. In 2005 they released their full-length Gallows Gallery throughyet another source,
CandlelightRecords/Baphomet Records. The band is now signed to The End Records that released Hangman's Hymn and reissued a re-mastered
version of Gallows Gallery with revamped artwork and six bonus tracks.
