on March 27, 2006,[1] the band raised national headlines when they were involved in a fatal bus crash while on tour, claiming the lives of vocalist Damien Morris and roadie Andy Milner.
Following the accident, the members decided to continue as a band with bass player Jamie Hope moving up to vocals as well as signing to Siege of Amida Records.
They along with Thy Art is Murder, A Night in Texas, To the Grave and Aversions Crown are noted for being one of the most prominent Australian deathcore artists.
With this lineup they released the demo "The Beloved Prosecutors", containing early recordings of the songs, "Effigy of Death", "I Only Smile When You're Bleeding", and "I Threw My Conscious into The Path of Oncoming Traffic".
During the recording of the EP producer and engineer Roman Koester began contributing material and eventually joined the band as a second guitarist.
