Their debut album, The Last Sunset, was released in February 2009. The band gained traction performing with notable acts like August Burns Red and Aborted, and their first international concert took place in Germany in 2009. Breakdown of Sanity's second album, [MIRRORS], was released in April 2011, followed by extensive European tours. Their third album, Perception, was released in October 2013 and distributed in the United States through We Are Triumphant. The band achieved significant milestones performing at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air in 2015. After announcing a hiatus in May 2017, the band returned with new singles starting from September 2020.
