Children Of Chaos (2007-2009)
The band began recording their debut album, Children of Chaos, which was released on June 19, 2007. It was recorded entirely at Longview Recording Studio in Massachusetts The album was well received by fans and critics and was considered an overall success. Later in 2007, a devastating fire and clash of the bands vision led McKnight to immediately begin replacing members and forming a new Soulidium.
During the shooting for the Saw themed music video "Trapped", McKnight met Chris Polidoro, a special effects artist and guitarist. Polidoro promptly joined upon invitation from McKnight. In late 2007, bassist Jadis Lucien was recruited and moved from his home town of Silver Spring, Maryland. A close friend of Polidoro was next to join, guitarist Shadow Morte. After switching through a couple of drummers, Danny Cayocca returned to Soulidium on May 20, 2008.
