Avoid the Light was the first album of the band under the new label Superball Music, coming to an end with Viva Hate Records.

Upon changing to Superball Music the band recorded a demo containing the song Apparitions which would later be featured in Avoid the Light.

The band members were looking for an album title, and overheard the song playing on a Pantera CD while they were in a hotel.

[4] For the critics of Werner Online Magazine in-your-face.de, Avoid the Light "is a very refreshing approach to music as an art form."

[5] Some negative comments came from the reviewer Claudio of the online magazine "sleaze metal", which said "the album is too complex and demanding for daily or long-term enjoyment" for what he awarded it a 6.5 out of ten points.
