In 2007, the band published its second studio album Orthodox Experience, which was declared the best Slovak album by FM listeners. In 2008, the band announced its cooperation with British composer, musician and producer Eddie Stevens known mainly from projects Freakpower- later known as Fatboy Slim, Moloko, or Zero7. The first result of this collaboration was the song Blood in 2009, followed by the whole studio album I Like This Temper. The next album released in 2009 is a studio recording Divine Darkness, this time produced by the band itself.
