The band released their debut album
In The Wake Ov Sòl independently on December 25, 2020, before getting signed to Unique Leader Records and re-releasing the album via the label on June 4, 2021, receiving positive feedback. Vocalist Devin Duarte stated that he wrote the album when he was "at my emotional lowest and brought me back to the darkest places in my life. I wanted to encapsulate the hopelessness people feel with these words, so that it can have a uniting effect. I wrote all the lyrics at the location where I made an attempt on my life, and I feel that it brought me even closer to the message."
