Scott Fairfax plays guitar and Andy Whale (also a former member of Bolt Thrower) was their drummer until 2020, when the latter was replaced by Spike T. Smith. The band has released four studio albums, two of which reached the charts in Germany, For the Fallen at number 16 and The Silent Vigil at number 32.[2][3] On 21 June 2019 the third album Requiem for Mankind was released.
