The band first released a 12" EP entitled Elvis Christ in 1988, followed by an album entitled "The LP!"

The next year their 1988 album was given a few more tracks and released as "The CD!" and they released a 12" EP entitled "Red Sea" on red vinyl.

In 1996 a more industrial album was released through Fifth Colvmn Records entitled Screaming Down The Gravity Well. Another album entitled the Penetrator was recorded around the same time but was never released, though there was talk of Mobilization Records releasing it in 2006. Screaming Down The Gravity Well was later re-released with different cover art in 1999 through Invisible Records.
