Lest We Forget
(2004), where tours proceeded from October, 27th, 2004 till August, 31, 2005.

Chaussee's style of play featured an original and exotic heavy sound, similar to "old-school"

glam-rock influences of former guitarist John 5 and the former style of the band as a whole. Mark lent a more rigid, gloomy and aggressive sound to the band.
