Sectarium soon release in 1994 its first demo called God’s Wrath. It was distributed in Europe, Latin America, USA, and reviewed in many prominent zines. They were in contact with other bands outside of Cuba, including Entombed, Pungent Stench, Orphaned Land, Moonspell, My Dying Bride, and Sarcofago. Sectarium became one of the most active metal bands in Cuba, playing numerous shows. Tragically, Hernandez died on January 2, 1997, just as Sectarium was recording its 2nd demo entitled Larvae. Oliva completed the recording and released as a tribute to Hernandez in 1998. Oliva continued playing in various metal bands in Cuba 'til 2012 when he relocated to Switzerland.
