in 1995. People there had already started to notice the budding talent of the band. Shortly after the move, their second guitarist Altemir Souza left the band and returned to Porto Alegre (where he died in a motorbike accident in 2002). The ''Unmerciful Order'' EP (their only "major" recording featuring a second guitarist, namely Mauricio Nogueira of Torture Squad) established the band as a cult act, and that status was further confirmed by the release of their debut album ''Black Force Domain'' (now as a trio) in 1995. The following albums continued to improve their brutal and uncompromising approach to death metal. In February–March 2007, the band toured North America with Unleashed,
