Only Inhuman is sometimes thought to be the band's debut album since their actual debut album, Eden Fire, includes only rerecorded demo songs from their previous released demos while the band still was called Fallen Angels. (except the first three first songs Jailbreak, Enhance My Nightmare and History Repeats Itself)


''Only Inhuman'' is sometimes considered the band's true debut album since ''[[Eden Fire]]'' consisted mostly of remade songs which were originally released when the band was still called Fallen Angels.
