They have appeared live with acts such as HELLOWEEN, SYMPHONY X, KAMELOT, BRAND NEW SIN, CELLADOR, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, TO/DIE/FOR, DORO, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, and many others. In addition, they performed at the ProgPower USA showcase in 2004 and 2007, alongside bands such as PRIMAL FEAR, THRESHOLD, FREAK KITCHEN, and VIRGIN STEELE. HALCYON WAY also performed twice at Rocklahoma in 2008, alongside bands such as QUEENSRŸCHE and TESLA.
Commented Lance King of Nightmare Records: "The band was very persistent. Finally they we're far enough along in the recording process and gave me a few of their songs to check out. I was sold! This band, while being a new force to be recognized, knows how to write solid songs, and how to translate their ideas from gut and head to your ears!"
