They released their first single "The Fire Down Below" on April 22, 2014 and their debut album, which is entitled "Through Art We Are All Equals", on June 24, 2014. Two other singles, "The Upgrade, Pt. II" and "Starving for Friends (feat. Vic Fuentes)" were also released. Bassist Jason T. Mays has left the band voluntarily because of family health issues and will not be returning. No permanent replacement has been found as of yet. 3) Slaves was the original name of Pleasure Forever formed by Joshua Hughes (Guitars), Andrew Rothbard (Vocals / Piano / Keyboards) and David Clifford (Drums/ Percussion). Their music is generally dark, and has a somewhat gothic/cabaret feel. Lyrical content (while heavily distorted on Alter) can be vague but is usually concerned with images of hedonism, lust, weakness of man, death and similar themes. Piano, keyboard and synthesizer are very dominant in their sound as well as very fuzzy, soft guitar sounds. With the exception of Sonny Kay, Slaves/Pleasure Forever features all the members of The VSS.
