First three years the band spent finding its musical direction and going through several line-up changes. In spring 2000 Dim Moonlight recorded its first demo …To Tranquility at Studio Kuja, Lahti. The rest of the year 2000 the band went again through many line-up changes, writing and rehearsing new material.

Late 2002 Kimmo and Masa went to Oriville Studios to record a new demo, Pleasure Of Existence. In 2004 the band changed its name to Solacide, and two new members joined the band; bass player Sami Tikkanen joined in early spring 2005 and guitarist Joonas Vanhalakka in September 2005.
