ANDREAS LEFT AND WAS REPLACED BY FORMER "SUFFER" GUITARIST ULF SAMUELSSON.
THE FOUR OF THEM RECORDED THE BANDS DEBUT ALBUM "IN THE GARDEN OF..SERPENT"AT THE
IN DEEP STUDIO IN STOCKHOLM SWEDEN.
WITH THE PRODUCER AND OWNER ANDERS PAULSSON THEY PAID ALL THE COSTS THEMSELVES ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT NUCLEAR BLAST SUB LABEL"RADIATION RECORDS"WAS VERY INTERESTED IN RELEASING THE ALBUM.WITH THAT DONE THE BAND SOLD THE RECORDING AND THE RECORD WAS RELEASED DURING 1996.JUST BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM PIOTR DECIDED TO STOP PLAYING DRUMS AND CONCENTRATE ON HIS VOCAL DUTIES.THE DRUM DUDE BECAME ULF'S FORMER BAND MATE FROM"SUFFER" PER KARLSSON.
THE BAND WASN'T TO HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM,THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAD BEEN THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN,SO TO SPEAK.SO THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD BE RELEASED FROM RADIATION RECORDS.
IN THE MEANTIME SERPENT'S BASS PLAYER QUIT.THE ONE WHO TOOK HIS PLACE WAS NO OTHER THAN THE FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE BAND ADREAS WAHL.WITH THE NEW LINE-UP THE RECORDED THE TRACK "THE FOG" FOR TWO COMPILATION CD'S,AND AT THE SAME TIME THEY ALSO SIGNED WITH THE SWEDISH METAL LABEL "HEATHENDOOM MUSIC"
IN APRIL 1997 THEY ENTERED ADOLF FREDRIKS MUSIKSKOLA STUDIO IN STOCKHOLM TO START RECORDING THEIR SECOND ALBUM"AUTUMN RIDE"
"AUTUMN RIDE"IS A COOL RECORDING WITH LOTS OF GROOVY AND DOOMY RIFFS MIXED WITH KILLER VOCALS FROM PIOTR.
THE BAND ARE RIGHT NOW PREPARING TO GO BACK IN THE STUDIO TO START RECORDING THEIR 3rd ALBUM WHICH SHOULD BE READY BEFORE THE END OF 1998.
