Half a year later, Miguel Rocha (g) enters the band replacing Manzano and GAUNTLET begins the recording of its first demo CD "Gauntlet”, released in 2000. At the end of this year, Viruete quits as well and with the helping throat of Nacho Ruiz, they release their second demo CD "Rising” in 2002...

Later on, Ando Martínez (d) replaces Nacho on drums and Sr. Lobo becomes the new singer. Few months later, this one and Carlos Peña leave the band, too...

In October of 2003, Santi García (b) joins GAUNTLET as the bass player, entering Ando’s home studio to record the new songs for their first CD, that will see the light more than two years later…..

Miguel Rocha (Vocals, guitar), Daniel Millán (Guitar, backing vocals), Santi García (Bass, backing vocals) & Ando Martínez (Drums)...

With Miguel back on vocals, the new approach to the songs is more direct and raw, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in melody. So, being convinced of the new direction, they get down to work on "What Doesn’t Kill Us…” which is recorded in the summer of 2008 and mixed in October by José Garrido and Daniel Melián at New Life Studios in Madrid, who decide to remix it later on, in order to obtain an even better quality of sound. So, at the end of November, the engineers get in touch with Mika Jussila in Finnvox (Finland), who personally masters the CD...
