Notes:
The album that started it all. The music on this release is a compilation of songs written over the course of four years or better; some of this material came in when Jason joined the band and had been written prior to that by him. This album sounds different than the others because of the time span and also because of varying styles and interests, we were still figuring out what we wanted to sound like. Nonetheless, there are some "classics" on this album that we still play at almost every show we do and that helped to solidify our position and reputation in the metal world.
