They didn't give the band a name until they had enough material which would represent their voice. In May of the same year, the trio entered the studio to record a Demo. Sanrabb and Dolgar shared the duty of guitars, vocals, bass and synth, while Sir Vereda took his seat behind the drum set. The demo was recorded between the 3rd and 7th of June 1993 in Soundsuite Studios. It was released under The name ``Black Seared Heart`` as a tape limited to 100 copies. After several years of inactivity, the band returned with WW in 2005, heralding a much welcomed return to their black metal roots.
