White Skull also contributed to two Heavy Metal compilations: Nightpieces 4 (January 95) and Area Sismica (June 95). Finally, a few months later, the Italian indie Underground Symphony gave it the chance to record its debut cd entitled: I Wont Burn Alone. The album received a lot of positive responses from the press and local audiences and White Skull started to play in pubs, local festivals and biker meetings. The excellent results achieved, pushed the band to write down immediately new songs, that caught again the interest of Underground Symphony which released in March 1997 the new album titled Embittered. The Embittered Tour started immediately and kept the band busy until 1998. The guys played also with the likes of Overkill, at the Italian GODS OF METAL festival and in Berlin with UDO and DORO. In the meantime the band kept rehearsing and writing new songs which ultimately brought to the release of the EP Asgard and the cd Tales from the North, a concept album about the myths of the North (Vikings and Nibelungs) with CHRIS BOLTENDAHL, singer of GRAVE DIGGER, as special guest. The album was released in 1999 by Nuclear Blast worldwide.

She was replaced by the male voice of Gustavo Gabarrò Gus, a metal singer from Argentina. Finally the band came back into the studio at the end of 2001 in order to produce another concept album entitled The Dark Age based on the middle ages and on the crimes of the Inquisition, released by Frontiers Records in August 2002. After the good critical and public acclaims who followed the release of “The Dark Age” the band played a lot of shows and festivals in Europe (Blind Guardian Open Air, Metal Dayz, Badia Rock Festival, Tradate Iron Festival, Valpolicella Metal Festival and so on…). White Skull released in May 2004 the sixth full length titled “The XIII Skull” – Frontiers Records. After album release the band had to cancel a lot of shows due to health problems of the vocalist.
