After the release of their debut album "Enter" in 1997, the band became prominent in the Dutch underground scene. It was not until 2001 that they became known to the general public, with the single "Ice Queen" from their second album "Mother Earth", which reached No. 2 on the Dutch charts. This was followed by the band winning the Conamus Exportprijs, a Dutch music award, four years in a row, and a fifth in 2016. Their next albums "The Silent Force" (2004) and "The Heart of Everything" (2007) debuted at No. 1 on the Dutch charts. In 2008, they released "Black Symphony", a live album recorded with the Metropole Orchestra. This was followed in 2009 by "An Acoustic Night at the Theatre", another live album, this time with acoustic renditions of the songs.
