After signing with Metal Blade Records in 2017, the project released Savage Sinusoid (2017) and Spirituality and Distortion (2020), with earlier albums Nostril (2010) and Hallelujah (2012) establishing the foundational aesthetic of abrupt tempo shifts, operatic vocals, growling, and electronic manipulation.
