In early 2008, Xerath signed their first record deal with Candlelight Records, best known for acts such as Emperor and Opeth. Xerath released their debut CD entitled I (One) in May 2009, their second album II (Two) was released on 3 May 2011 and their latest album III (Three) was released in September 2014.
