This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area, and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001. They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which helped increase their status considerably. They supported Machine Head along with Caliban in Nov/Dec of 2004 in the UK. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world.

Master of fate embrace
Time to judge them, aversion to believe the lies

Preserving the right to deicide
Unaware of what exists around us
Chasing the dreams, the shadows behind me
Everything's clear
Force-fed awaken realize
