Mixed by Jason Suecof (Job for a Cowboy, August Burns Red, Whitechapel) at Audio Hammer Studios, the album has one music video.
Produced by the band's own guitarist, Nick Morris, owner of Cloud City Studios (The Black Dahlia Murder, Walls of Jericho).
Blacken The Sun was moderately successful and defined the band's unique death metal style.
Their highly acclaimed second album, Dynasty[4][5][6] was released in 2010, before leaving Solid State, and re-signing to Luxor.
