→Background
Porter was replaced by Vic "Vik" Martinez in September of 2008, who added some unorthodox guitar work and provided a much needed third layer to the band's overall sound. In addition to contributing bass guitar lines to their song ''"Caustic"'', Martinez also incorporated elements of bass synth and live sample triggering to the band's live performances. However a falling out with Mod and scheduling conflicts forced Martinez's departure in December 2009. As a result, former gadgetrist Mat Pathetic stepped in to replace Martinez for the band's then upcoming ''"Dogma Eye"'' tour. Following their appearance at the Orlando based 'Florida Underground Industrial Music Festival', Mat Pathetic once again became the band's permanent Guitarist and Gadgetrist.
