The first release of the label was Godflesh's previously unreleased EP, Messiah in 2000.[2] This was followed by Zonal's The Quatermass Project Volume 1, released in the same year.[3]

The label extensively released various Jesu recordings, including Pale Sketches in 2007,[1] Infinity in 2009 and Everyday I Get Closer to the Light from Which I Came in 2013.[4][5][6]
