A North American edition of the album, with a bonus track, followed on Artoffact Records in April 2010.

In December 2009 the band toured with the German folk metal band Subway to Sally on their Kreuzfeuer tour. In 2010 they headlined the second stage at Metal Camp, played the Wave-Gotik-Treffen and closed the Dreams in Formaline tour at the Metal Female Voices Fest.

The second album, Kinetik, was released in 2011 on Drakkar Entertainment and Sony Music. It was recorded at Horus Studio in Hannover, produced by Žare Pak and co-produced by guitarist Malice Rime, with the singles "Colossus" and "Dance With Me".
