Notes: Our collective journey as a band is a fairly short story... In our past lives we were all hunter-gatherers in the steppes of the Russian highlands, eking out an existence in the ferret and ground-squirrel trade. Then, inevitably, we each died sour and repugnant deaths. We were then reborn, thanks to a previous contract with dark forces who preordained our return to Earth. Needless to say, we weren't exactly happy to be resurrected as common musicians and storytellers. But, because you and the rest of the lowly people are so easily entertained, it became an obvious choice to rule above you all and fulfill our destiny.

Year: 2003

Notes: Usually starting with a click track or just an acoustic guitar, the best of these demos were worked into full songs by the entire band and recorded for an album.
