 Ensign had recorded two EPs – a "self-titled 7"" and the "Fall from Grace" 7" – and a full-length debut, "Direction of Things to Come", for Orange County, California label Indecision Records before departing for the larger Nitro Records in 1998.Far from seeing this as a cashing-in exercise by Indecision on the band's new, wider audience, it was seen as filling the gaps in the essential history of a band who would go on to tour with metalcore band, Hatebreed in 2002.Most of the material was either unreleased, out-of-print or very rare.
