Around 1996 or 1997 Inearthed recorded a ful-length album, "Something Wild", and even got a recording deal from a minor Belgian label. However the deal was not very good. After a while, the band got a better offer from Spinefarm Records and told to the Belgian labelthat they had split u, while they actually on ly changed name to "Children of Bodom" and sold the same album they had recorded.
