in 2013 joey jordison left the band. the band made and brought out a new album in 2014 called ".5: the gray chapter". donnie steele played the bass on some songs on the album, but did not want to fully rejoin, so a new bass player and drummer were brought in to replace steele and jordison. the band would not say at first who the new members were, though their names were soon discovered to be alessandro venturella (bass player) and jay weinberg (drummer)
