Additional notes
Do not add any of the Nuclear Blast 2 in 1 re-releases.

Maurizio used to play bass when Sylvain did vocals. He owns a label called Hyper Active Records, which has released the CDs of Canadian Metal bands like Hate (Can), and Elements (Can).

Max Duhamel left briefly due to injuries while Martin Maurais took his place. In January 2005 Max Duhamel re-joined.

The band has labeled their style "Northern Hyperblast".
