Soon after this, Akshay (Skincold) joined the band to add to the eclectic soundscape.

The band continued to play shows in cities like Delhi, Shillong, Guwahati, Pune and Bangalore well into 2008. The band's first album, Confect, was released independently in 2008.

The riffs are generally compact and confined within a single octave, and are augmented by downtuned seven string guitars. The band favours a wet distortion sound, which is generally backed by a synchronized bass line. The drumming relies heavily on double bassing, with the snares and cymbals following a standard 4/4 pattern. Certain songs are melody based, although the melody lines are usually interspersed between fast sections. InfluencesThe band is influenced by various bands from a variety of genres though primarily hardcore bands like Sick of It All, Raised Fist, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Poison the Well. The band is also influenced by Sikth and Textures, It is known to play covers at some of live shows like "Voodoo People" (The Prodigy), "Nobody Takes Pictures of the Drummer" (Nora), "Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants" (The Dillinger Escape Plan), "Condemned Until Rebirth" (Hatebreed), "Take the Night Off" (Sick of It All), "Slither" (Earth Crisis), "Playing Soldier Again" (Walls of Jericho) and a cover of Del Amitri's "Roll to Me" on Confect.
