Powers Court was signed to Audioglobe SRL/Dragonheart Records, Firenze, Italy in 2000. Their 'NINE KINDS OF HELL' CD was released on that label in 2001. The CD was released in Europe as a 'digipak' version with original artwork by Giovanna Corsini. Two original oil paintings were created for the CD. The artist worked closely with Powers and Murray to create their vision of the legendary wizard, 'Faust'. The song, 'Tragedy of Faust' appears on the CD as the opening track. The 'Tragedy of Faust', 'Echoes of Silence' and 'Devil's Triangle' that were featured on the original three-song demo (Equinox) were included on this recording due to overwhelming fan requests. The CD was a concept album, the premise was nine songs representing nine different hellish experiences.



This CD was also sublicensed in jewel case format by 'ROCK EMPIRE', Taiwan and features the traditional 'obi strip', indicating that it's an Asian import. The obi strip is written in Chinese, the booklet and all other text is written in English, the CD is of course in English.

'THE RED MIST OF ENDENMORE' CD was released in 2008 on the Audioglobe SRL/Dragonheart label. This album was released in Europe as a digipak version. The CD is a concept album based upon an original story by Danie Powers about an evil landowner hailing from the mythological place she created called, 'Endenmore'. The landowner, 'Merrick', fancies the daughter of the local Village Chieftain. He uses black magick and sorcery to woo her, but things go awry after they are married because his magick is not strong enough to bind her and other arcane forces are involved that cause her to stray.
