Their first and second albums, entitled A Mind's Portrait and The Face of the Unknown respectively, were released through Time Divide Records on 1 May 2009 and 12 October 2010.[1] These were followed by Enigma, released through Nightmare Records on 22 January 2013, Ephemera, released on 1 September 2014, Inveritas, released on 10 May 2019, and Transversal, released on 24 September 2021.
