This demo became the band’s debut album, which was issued in 1990. Grind Core International, which was an imprint of Pavement, re-released the album in 1992. Eric Greif, who managed Death at the time, produced the album. Consequently, the group was given the opportunity to open for Death on tour. The band broke up in 1994, but reunited in 2010.
