Released by Wierd in 2007, the Solidaire EP included a cover of seminal French coldwave band Asylum Party's song "Pure Joy in My Heart."
The band's debut LP, Midnight of the Century, mixed by Ed Buller and mastered by Howie Weinberg, was released digitally on May 26, 2009, and on CD on July 28, 2009.
After a long hiatus, the band returned in summer of 2020 with the "Disorder" single, inspired by the racial justice protests in the United States, and the B-Side "No Secret Islands" which takes aim at the dystopian fantasies of tech billionaires.
The song "Shock in the Hotel Falcon" was inspired by George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, while "Language of the Living Dead" referenced the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek.
While many bands who play similar music often traffic in imagery relating to the supernatural, Strachan himself identified his message as "militantly humanistic",[6] combining Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne's more politically charged lyrics like "Children of the Grave", "Electric Funeral" and "Killer of Giants" with the cerebral work of Richey Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers.
