The band's first single, "Thumper" (produced by Marc Heal), was released in 2000 to significant critical acclaim.

[5] On early Raging Speedhorn recordings, the music can be characterised by pounding basslines, heavily distorted riff-thick guitarwork and subject content consisting generally (but certainly not exclusively) of hedonism, drug use, violence, antipathy for major band labels and depression.

However, the tour was uncerimoniously canceled that same day[7] reportedly due to an inability to confirm dates or properly promote.

Both John Loughlin and Frank Regan would feature on vocals, with the band showcasing tracks from their debut and sophomore albums.
