The band had problems getting a label, despite the members' successful work in their earlier projects. In an interview with Close Up, they stated that the labels were unwilling to sign the band without getting hand on an actual recording. The first full-length album named Scars was released in 2013. "It makes you want to kick in someone's forehead when listening to the album", according to Jesper Strömblad, the band's guitarist. The first planned album was cancelled, since the band members were not satisfied with the result.[1]
With Jesper Strömblad leaving to go into rehab and Marco Aro returning to The Haunted, on 17 May 2016, a 'game over' profile picture appeared on their Facebook page, signalling the band has ceased all activities.[citation needed] On 22 July 2016, their Facebook presence was removed, further indicating the band are no longer together.[citation needed] No official announcement has been made regarding the status of the band.
