Their first release was the live cassette-only album Boiled Alive in 1985. The band's debut studio album, Boiled in Lead, followed in 1985, featuring Dauphin on lead vocals. Todd Menton joined as vocalist/guitarist for their second album, Hotheads, released in 1987. The band continued to evolve musically with albums like From the Ladle to the Grave (1989) and Orb (1990), incorporating a wide range of international musical traditions.
