Futilitées

In 2003, it had resorts to a minor chirurugie to repair its vocal cords which it exhausted by shout in its songs. After the exit of City off Evil, it has blame, on several occasions, its surgery to explain why their album was softer than its predecessors. In fact, much intend themselves to say that the true reason is that the members are from now on more mature, they evolved/moved and changed since they signed with the label Warner Brothers.
