A couple of month passed by before they finally entered the Höök Studios to record the promo track "The Song Of The Dancing Sins". With his track the band showed where they were heading. Into a more aggressive yet melodic form of Death Metal.
In the end of 1994 No Fashion made their first contact with the band, but nothing happened. So in January 1995 the band decided to once again enter the Höök Studio to record their second demo tape. This demo, which includes three tracks was simply entitled "Demo'95". These three tracks did also appear on their debut full length album "If Emotion Still Burns". After this demo Martin Quist decided to concentrate on his vocal duty only. And a new guitar player named Roger Johansson took over. At the same time the band signed for No Fashion Records.
During the summer of 1995 they entered Musik Maffian Studios in Varberg and recorded their debut full length album "If Emotion Still Burns".
