By 2001, the band began looking for a record deal. The band were set to sign with Immortal Records , however after disagreements relating to creative control, the deal fell through and the band ultimately signed with Warner Bros. Records , and started recording their debut album with producer Garth Richardson . During recording however, Diaz was simultaneously in Trapt, Closure , and Theory of a Deadman , but he ultimately chose to stay in the latter two bands; thus, his place in Trapt was filled by Aaron Montgomery. On November 5, 2002, the band released their major label debut album, Trapt , which was certified platinum by the RIAA on November 24, 2003. The album produced a total of three charting singles: ” Headstrong “, ” Still Frame “, and ” Echo “, with “Headstrong” as the most successful of the three.
