Under its current line-up, Blackholicus released its debut album, "Variations in Death Minor," in 2006 and for the three years following were named in the Austin Music Awards as one of the top metal bands of the city. Its follow-up "Megaforte" was released in 2009 and distributed directly by the band and through CD Baby, since the band is unsigned.
