With a musical style which crossed many genres including electronic, new wave, and rock,[1] the band found moderate success in the 1990s and early 2000s with a three No.

[4][5] He was joined by Eric Switzer and Mark Tanner, with the trio releasing a self-titled, self-published cassette of Code of Ethics in 1990.

Staying true to the style that got the band recognized in the first place, the freshman album was completely synth and beat driven.

In an industry that wasn't accustomed to the Europop style,[citation needed] and due to the limited resources of R.E.X., the album had a tough time breaking into radio.

As a result, former band manager Don Wrenn and attorney Sam Chappell negotiated a multiple-album deal with ForeFront Records.

The band then went back into the studio in Nashville and Memphis to finish the new self-titled album under the direction of John Jaszcz.

[citation needed] The foursome would then go on to play their first concert together at Creation Festival in Mount Union, Pennsylvania a week before the new record Code of Ethics would be released.

[citation needed] The album was recorded over a period of nine months in the Nashville suburb Franklin where Tedd T and Dez Dickerson shared an office and studio.

[16][17] In touring for support of the record, the band hired an additional guitar player, Rob Policastro, to add more depth to the live show.

In August 1995, they joined Christian rock legends Petra, who had just won their third Grammy earlier that year, for their No Doubt tour with Three Crosses as the opener.

[citation needed] After the break, in 1996, management at the time thought the band should headline their own tour, which was known as "Know the Code", a play on words.

[citation needed] The tour started in Winter Park, Colorado and continue West before to further establish new territory they broke the year before.

Blazs needed replacement musicians and ended up recruiting Charles Garrett, Jerry Mowery, and Steve Dale.

With Forefront viewing the modern musical landscape and the sales success of label mates Audio Adrenaline's 1996 release Bloom and DC Talk's 1995 Jesus Freak receiving RIAA certified Gold or Platinum (Jesus Freak being certified gold in just 30 days of release), the label pressured Blazs to record songs that were more rock and less electronic.

[citation needed] The style had veered too far away from its core sound, and the new set of writers failed to capture the sonic essence of the band.

[citation needed] Chapman went to university for recording industry business and to study film score and incidental music.

[citation needed] After a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 2004, Blazs lost extensive amount of his hearing and vision.

[21] While still leading worship, Blazs selectively toured with his wife Cynthia (DJ Chi) and occasionally other musicians such as Brainer, and Blaze's sister Julie Rodenhizer.
