I te tau 1997, i hoki mai a Morton ki te roopu. E rua tau i muri mai, ka tukuna e te roopu tana pukaemi tuatahi, Burn the Priest, na Legion Records. I penapena a Mikey Brosnan o Legion Records i te $ 2,500 mo te rekoata ka pakaru i a raatau i Philadelphia, Pennsylvania na roto i nga whakaaturanga DIY. I whakaputahia te pukaemi e te kaitito gita me te kaiwaiata o Today Is the Day a Steve Austin. I wehe a Spear i te roopu, ka waiho he tuunga tuwhera mo te kaiwaiata. Ko te teina o Adler a Willie te kaiwaiata tuarua o te roopu i te tau i muri mai, ka hainatia he kirimana me Prosthetic Records.
