The long break, during 2008 and 2009, had made them realize that they did not feel the passion towards the band any longer. After the split up of the band, Sander Gommans published in 2009 the album "System Overload" with his solo project HDK and continues working as a high school art teacher. Floor Jansen started a new band called ReVamp and signed a contract with Nuclear Blast in 2010 for their first eponymous album, then from late 2012 to summer 2013 she toured with Nightwish and later became the permanent lead singer of the band. Joost van den Broek collaborated with both Gommans and Jansen on their new musical projects, meanwhile producing the Christmas Metal Symphony shows in 2008 and 2009 and Stream of Passion's second album "The Flame Within". Guitarist Bas Maas joined the live band supporting German hard rock singer Doro Pesch in 2008.
