In 2000, they self-released a demo CD called Origin , which they sold at local shows, and packaged to shop it to record labels. Lee and Moody stated that the CD was not an official release, but a compilation of their demos. Origin and their earlier EPs contain demo versions of some of the songs that would later appear on their debut album. Moody expressed dissatisfaction with their pre- Fallen material, stating in an interview, “What we had in our head was Fallen , although it was a long time ago and we didn’t have the technology, so a lot of our early recordings were just shit.” In a February 2003 radio interview, Lee and Moody encouraged fans to download their demos from the Internet, rather than purchase them from online sources such as eBay where it had been selling for US$400.
