After several concerts through the north of Spain, a self-published and entirely recorded by the band demo sees the light of day under the title of Demon 2007: We´ll tear your soul apart. It was notably welcomed among both audience and press. During that year, they shared the stage with bands such as Avulsed, Human Mincer, Sound of Silence or Possession.
In 2008 they began recording what would soon become their first EP titled Land of empty graves, which would be published in October 2009.

There are two different versions of the aforementioned Land of empty graves. The first one came out through KTC records label. In this edition, the mix and master was made by the producer Brian Elliot (Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Vital Remains...) at Mana Studios in Florida (U.S.A.), property of Erik Rutan (Hate eternal, ex-Morbid Angel). The second one, released by RALM Records record label, is a special edition that included more songs and featured a different design and mix. Henrik Larsson (producer of Amon Amarth, Vomitory, The Haunted...) collaborated also in the MCD crating the instrumental intro.
