2008 "The Demos" DOLP Vinyl by High Roller Rec.

- There is some confusion concerning the names of some of the early band members. Listed above is either the version from the official website (which in some cases isn't sure either) or the most common version. Alternate spellings are marked with a question mark.

- The LP "Defenders of Justice" was later re-released on CD under two (!) different titles, as "Bloodbath" (by Gama) and as "Broken Heart" (by LaserLight).
