There has been a good number of praising reviews about the level of energy on stage and as it seems, the hunger is not subsiding. The enthusiasm also breeds cooperation as Dj Proteus and MC Raaka P are featured guests on band's first album. BLD’s releases include a single Aggressor 2010, the full length album Empire, in 2008 and EPs titled Humanography (in 2006) and Same Story,Different People (in 2005). Empire also conceived the band's first music video filmed for the song Tides. The video itself and the feedback were astonishing and summoned a good handful of new candidates for BLDs growing fanbase.

Humanography, Empire and Aggressor are all produced in collaboration with Osasto-A record label.
