The first songs that Talos released to the public were known as Apothecary, Die Passie Van Hel and Broken.

Talos accepted the offer and was booked for the first time. Unfortunately, due to legal issues Zach M. had to leave the band with no vocalist three days before the show. Azog and Nishkheed decided to learn all the lyrics for the show so the band could still play. Talos played its first show with artists such as Gravestorm, Stillborn Messiah, Malcavian and Sepulcro. While playing this show, the band picked up two new members. Josteinn, who was also the singer for Gravestorm, and Apollyon, a fan of Talos who noticed no bassist existed at the time. -[2006]- Talos recorded a six song EP given the title of Sleep Now Forever. Cd's were being constructed and shirts were being pressed for the Sleep Now Forever release. Talos was also invited to play in the Omaha Metal Fest and came to the conclusion that it was the perfect time to release the new material. The band had a total of 60 Cd's created and 50 shirts; all of them sold during the OMF3 event. In December issues started to occur with R. Fierfell and Josteinn, which lead to a hiatus for Talos. -[2007]- During the hiatus of Talos, Nishkheed and R. Fierfell kept writing music. Eventually Talos was offered a headlining slot in Omaha Metal Fest 4. In May Nishkheed and R. Fierfell decided on asking Azog and Apollyon if they were interested in re-forming Talos. Azog was happy to hear the news of Talos reforming, and Apolyyon agreed to join if Josteinn would re-join as well. Every member re-joined the band by the end May and Talos was stronger then ever, or so it seamed. After getting shows booked Josteinn leaves Talos hanging 3 days before a show.
