Their latest offering, the 2005 triple DVD entitled Defiant Indoctrination is a concert performed and recorded in their home town on May 7, 2005. It features spectacular visuals and theatricals. At the show, they performed every song from their latest album, Defiant Imagination, as well as various tracks from their other albums. In addition, the third disc is the entire drum footage of the show, focusing entirely on drummer Yanic Bercier. Special attention has been given to sound, the mix being handled by Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index). A star-studded lineup of guest musicians is presented, such as famous Quebec cellist Claude Lamothe, Alex Auburn of Cryptopsy fame, bassist Forrest of Augury/Atheretic/Negativa, and a classical choir and violinist to top it off.

And hope, someday, you will be free
For now you are your own prey

Line by Line Meaning
Look deep down and you will see
Take the time to introspect and you'll gain insight.
Find your own reality
Discover the truth about yourself and the world around you.
If all seems lost and you can't find
When you feel hopeless and lost,
Let no one know.
Do not reveal your fear or weakness to others.
Hide the truth that haunts you days
Conceal the troubling and painful aspects of your life.
And hope, someday, you will be free
Hope that one day you will be rid of your burdens and can live unencumbered.
For now you are your own prey
Currently, your own thoughts and fears are the source of your suffering.
The predator behind your eyes
The fear and self-doubt within yourself that consumes you.
