In August, the band announced they were parting ways with drummer Ian Treacy and taking on Nicholas Barker - who has played in Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth and Testament.

Regadas said: "Everything about this band has been done with a lot of thought. There was never any intention of looking for huge, well-known musicians from the genre. It was more important to find good people. I've been asked a lot, 'Is it death metal?' To me, it's just metal, albeit with downtuned guitars and extreme vocals."
