It was a cold December in 2000 when Johan König was working on some music which later resulted in
the 'The Right Place' sessions, he asked, the in the Netherland based underground label,
Stahlklang Audio if they where intrested to release this piece of music as a limited MC and so it
all started.

Peter Savelkoul, who runned Stahlklang Audio, produced the MC and sold them through the internet,
one of the buyers was a Frenchman called Phillipe who gave the MC to a friend, Fabrice, who just
started a small record label called Divine Comedy, he loved it and offered a record-deal.
The recordings for the debutalbum, 'Only Stones Remain', started in early 2001.
Johan asked Peter to help him but during the recordings he decided to quit the project because
of personal problems, Peter continued and the album was released in the spring of 2001.
Peter decided to keep the project after many possitive reviews and offers by other labels including
Eternal Soul and Cold Spring Records. Johan gave Peter the last recordings to be completed in June
2001 which later became the album 'Wilhelm Gustloff', this album was released by Cold Spring.

Alot has happened since these early days of the project, many releases followed, alot of gigs where
played in cities like Vienna, Moscow, Lissabon, Bruxelled, Barcelona, Leuven and Alkmaar.
In 2005 Peter started Vrihaspati Recordings with the help of his good friend Max Presch of
Steinklang Records, a label which would do 80% of the future releases of the project, also other
labels still would have a change to do releases.

A Challenge of Honour's produced alot of material in the past but it took Peter 3,5 years to write
on the new album, 'No Way Out'. This album, to be released on the 16th of September 2008, also is
featuring a new member, Maurice Lahoije, who also played on one track of the CD re-release of the
now legendary 'Monuments' album in 2007.
