. Their second single 'Tears of Deceit' entered the Finnish top 20 in the singles charts at number 13. The band's debut album, ''Love is a Lie we Both Believed'' was released in 2005 in Finland and Russia. A follow up album, ''Like the Rain of Shame We Fall'', was recorded and was going to be released in 2007, however this did not materialize as the group were involved in a dispute with their record label over the musical direction and image of the band. The first album contained elements of synth pop and melodic vocals, which Spinefarm felt was commercial. However, the second album contained material which was classified as Gothic and Progressive. The band felt that they wanted to go back to their original roots and did not want to be forced into changing their sound for commercial reasons. They also wanted to tone down their vibrant, glam rock image.
