The Band Performed Together For 2 Years After Which The Original Line-Up Dissolved. Santiago Silva Vocals And Johnny Gordon Drums The Only Remaining Members Performed With Several Other Musicians In An Effort To Find The Right Musicians For Their Project. Many Of The Songs They Wrote And Played During This Period Would Appear In The Band's First Full-Length.
