The trio released their first full-length album in 2011, Eulogies for the Fallen, on French label EMANES Metal Records.[5][6] The album was well received, although criticized for lack of variety among the tracks; the style has been described as slow-paced and melancholy,[7] with operatic vocals.[2][8]
