After a couple of months rehearsing the band was asked to play the infamous Deadfest in Linköping (Sweden) with bands like Walls of Jericho and Undying. Damiens performance was a complete success and the response was way better than expected. The band was of course psyched about this and went home to Karlstad to rehearse even more. This resulted in a couple of more live shows and finally a five song demo recording during the summer of 2004.
Once again the response was overwhelming and Damien was elected "Best in Sweden" (band of the month) in Swedens biggest metal magazine, Close-Up Magazine. This also resulted in a song ("Trucido") on the free sampler that comes with every issue of the magazine.
The feature in Close-Up Magazine was followed by gigs around Sweden (e.g. Sweden Rock festival, Arvikafestivalen and Augustibuller) and the recording of a new demo. The band was not completely satisfied with the result of this recordning though and decided to give the songs some more work.
During 2008 Damien recorded a 10" called "Black heart" that will be released on The Greatest Records this spring.
