Their tracks have appeared in international compilations and on television programs like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.[1]
One of the group's earliest demos, Lost Soul, gained attention in 1997 when WWE purchased the rights to it and began using the song in some of their promotional videos, primarily for The Undertaker.
