Solo Releases
Vandarth's first significant release was The Escape, released digitally on January 1, 2009. The follow-up, titled Gateway of Destruction was not formally released because the original recording session files were damaged. A few of the demos were released from Vandarth's website. Three of the songs from the Gateway sessions including "The Best You Could Do," "Let It Go", and "Make It Last" appeared on Vandarth's cover album titled Songs From A Parallel Universe. Vandarth's third original album will be released in late 2010. Demos for the album are being posted for fan review on Facebook and Reverb Nation. Vandarth plans to take fan feedback into account when selecting the final tracks for the album.

Their most recent album, titled Climb A Ladder Into The Sky was released on May 2, 2010.Climb A Ladder Into The Sky was actually written as the precursor to Vandarth's solo album The Escape, but was not finished until after The Escape had been released.
