In September 2001 they recorded ten tracks in the famous Sunlight Studio, Stockholm – six of those for their "Solace Denied" 7" (Sounds Of Betrayal), two of the other songs ended up on the "Polargrinder" compilation LP (Manufactured by CR/Putrid Filth Conspiracy) and one finally on the "Unlawful Grindcore Assembly" comp 7" (Nuclear Bbq Party).
A second visit to the Sunlight Studio took place in February 2002. Seven songs were recorded for the "Swedish Assault" compilation CD (Relapse) and five for the Sayyadina/No Value split 7" (Sounds Of Betrayal).
In 2004 they recorded the album "Fear Gave Us Wings", released on CD by Sound Pollution in November and on vinyl by Yellow Dog the following month.
January 2006 saw Sayyadina opening for Rotten Sound on the 21 date Grind Your Face Off tour through eleven European countries.
They started recording their second album in March 2006.

Their albüm "Mourning the Unknown" was out on cd july 2nd 2007 on Sound Pollution records, USA.
Confrontation
Sayyadina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desperation, I'm dying again and again
Separation, I'm leaving this place now
Intoxication, can't think straight at all
The point of no return
I'll burn in your fire again
Explanation, don't make me do this again
Damn this nation, I'm leaving this place now
Resignation, thanks for nothing, thanks to you
The point of no return
I'll burn in your fire again
The lyrics to Sayyadina's song "Confrontation" detail the emotions and thoughts of someone who is at their breaking point. The repetition of phrases like "I'm dying again and again" and "can't think straight at all" highlight the intense desperation and helplessness they are feeling. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer feeling as though they are up against an impenetrable wall, with nothing left to lose; their coldness and desperation are palpable.
The second verse continues this feeling of bleakness and hopelessness, with the protaganist questioning the point of their ultimate destination and demanding that they not be forced to go through with this anymore. They are "leaving this place now" in both verses, a powerful image of someone who has made the decision to walk away from their current situation, no matter the consequences. The final refrain, "The point of no return, I'll burn in your fire again," is a declaration of defiance-- even if they are up against impossible odds, they will not give up without a fight.
Overall, "Confrontation" is a powerful and emotional song about the struggle to persevere in the face of adversity, and the decision to stand up and fight no matter what.
