→Background
In September of the same year the two were joined by Ex-Pathetics guitarist [[Mat Pathetic]]; who became the band's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(music) gadgetrist] and primary guitarist. Pathetic contributed to the song ''Filth In Eyes''; a confrontational piece inspired by the band's disagreement with the activities of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church Westboro Baptist Church] and religious bigotry in general. Porter left the band in early 2008 due to conflicting musical interests with c. Grendel and Pathetics's then repeated tardiness to practice and recording sessions due to his own responsibilities at the time.
Pathetic 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 until late . In mid 2010, when legal problems briefly forced his departurefor a few months. Later that year they were joined by their second keyboardist and arranger Thomas Carpenter.
In late 2010, the band was rumored to have broken up, however Mod Eschar confirmed that the band was indeed on temporary hiatus due to personal difficulties. The two band-mates have announced their intent to resume the project in early 2011 after resolving difficulties in their personal lives. In October 2010, Mod Eschar announced that [[Vimana Cult]] band-mate [[Jason Beatty]] will take the place of Mat Pathetic in the group's future live performances.
