In summer 2007, the band began to work on new music ideas. “Izbavlenie” (“Deliverance”) had become the first song recorded in studio. Later on, its music video was also recorded. In the beginning of 2008, “3,14…” created the metal movement “Dark Line”. A lot of concerts with participation of various young metal bands were arranged under the aegis of this movement.

In February 2009 the band began to work on their first studio album, “Neizbejnost” (“Inevitability”). The album consisted of 9 songs and “Izbavlenie” as a bonus track.

In 2010, “3,14…” released a project named “VPERED/OBRATNO” (“AHEAD/BACKWARDS”) with other musicians. They presented the project on the band’s solo concert on 27 November 2010.

In February 2011 the band released the new single "Sposi i Sxoroni" from their upcoming album "Poxorony Lucshego Druga", released in April 2011.
