In 1995, Christophe releases an album with french famous metal band Temple that will be properly distributed in France and receive a wave of positive reviews.

Mörglbl will quickly get international exposure, and Christophe will start some partnerships with top brands such as Laney amps, Vigier guitars, Zoom effects, and become one of their world ambassadors. In the meantime, Christophe, to this day still teaching at E.T.M. music school of Geneva (Switzerland), acquires a solid reputation as a clinician with the release of an instructional video (Heavy metal : les techniques/Birdland) and numerous instructional columns for dozens of guitar magazines.
