They have released six albums:
From Higher Will (1999)
Z vyšší vůle (2000) (The Czech version of "From Higher Will")
Pod vládou biče (2003) ("Under the Reign of the Whip" - recorded as a duo)
Řád a trest (2005) ("Order and Punishment")
Demokratické řešení (2013) ("Democratic Solution")
Svoboda slova (2020) ("Free Speech")
!T.O.O.H.! disbanded shortly after putting the finishing touches on "Řád a trest" due to financial issues - caused in no small part by being dropped by Earache, who took the album out of print only two months after its release.
News about reactivation of !T.O.O.H.! appeared in September 2011. Over the next two years, brothers Humanoid (guitar/vocals) and Schizoid (drums) began writing material for a new album and scheduled several concerts. In February 2013, after their first show in years, it was announced that they would not perform live anymore due to difficulty with Humanoid's illness - also stating that their new album would be their last. On August 13, 2013, "Demokratické řešení" was released online as a free download. After releasing new album, !T.O.O.H.! disbanded again, due Humanoid's shizophrenia. They reunion was made on 2017, Humanoid released a statement about his mental illness which complicated their tour plans, and told about new album which was on it's way to release. "Svoboda slova" was released in 2020.

!T.O.O.H.! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tem uma igrejinha,
existe uma santinha,
dos milagres, sim senhor!
É Santa Sara Kali sim senhor,
a nossa protetora,
a padroeira do caminhador (bis).
Povo cigano,
navegando em alto mar,
a chuva vem,
olha o relampear (bis).
Na beira do mar,
tem uma igrejinha,
existe uma santinha,
dos ciganos, sim senhor!
É Santa Sara,
dos Roma, sim senhor!
A nossa protetora,
protege ROM, SINTI e CALÓN (bis).
Povo nômade,
anda aqui e acular,
mesmo na chuva,
ou ao relampear (bis).
Na beira do mar...
Na beira do mar...
Na beira do mar...
Santa Sara me salvou.
É Santa Sara Kali, sim senhor!
A nossa protetora,
protege o povo com muito amor (bis).
The song "Kali" by the Czech death metal band !T.O.O.H.! is a homage to Santa Sara Kali, the patron saint of the Roma people, also known as the Gypsies. The lyrics describe a small church by the sea, where a statue of Santa Sara Kali stands as a symbol of protection and hope for the wandering Roma community.
The song celebrates the resilience of the Roma people, who, despite being persecuted and discriminated against, have managed to keep their traditions and cultural identity alive through the centuries. The lyrics acknowledge the hardships that the Roma people face, such as being subject to the whims of the weather while sailing the seas. Still, they find comfort in the presence of Santa Sara Kali and the faith that she will protect them from harm.
The chorus repeats the phrase "É Santa Sara Kali, sim senhor!" ("It's Santa Sara Kali, yes sir!"), emphasizing the importance and reverence that the Roma people have for their patron saint. The last verse concludes the song with the line "Santa Sara me salvou" ("Santa Sara saved me"), underscoring the belief that the power of Santa Sara Kali can offer salvation and deliverance from suffering.
