Looking not to their possess res publica, only to Europe's highly experimental musical and gothic death metal bands for inspiration, the pentad reinforced a small but consecrated following in local clubs earlier entering the studio with session bassist Jonathan Potter and recording their number one record album, The Earth Gods, in 1999. Although it wasn't even released in America at first base, the platter was picked up for European distribution by Germany's Emerald Factory Records, and garnered such confident reviews that Lilitu found themselves opening for bands like Nevermore and the Kovenant. Blasé and Jones departed the following summertime, only Lilitu nonetheless finished a self-financed soph album entitled Memorial by early 2001, with bassist Chris Todd and drummer Corey Long having stepped into the breach (keyboards would henceforward be handled sessionmen). Even more complete and acclaimed than its predecessor, Memorial introduced Lilitu to a a great deal wider audience, and helped them urinate significant inroads in the U.S., where heavy metallic element was finally making a provisional commercial comeback, anyhow.
