From this release onwards, the band gradually moved away from their initial black metal characteristics while adopting a more gothic-based sound, with the members being inspired and influenced by the rise of death metal becoming popular in Europe at the time . Meanwhile, their newfound popularity found them recruiting a bass guitarist, Guillaume Le Huche, so the trio could play live performances and return to the studio to record a debut full-length album. The resulting work, Dance of December Souls , was released in late 1993.
