during the two years leading up to the second album release the band had a lot of band members coming and going. in the fall of 2003 håkan björklund was asked to leave the band, dennis bobzien took over on the drums and leif högberg moved over to keyboards and the band recruited former divine souls bass player, now in setherial, daniel lindgren. in 2004 dennis bobzien decided to quit the band which left the band without a drummer, but they would find good use of peter sandin for this task who would play drums up until the recording of "devilution" where drumming duties was taken care of by richard holmgren, who never became a current member of the band. peter sandin was not a member of the band past this point. eventually daniel lindgren also left the band to focus on setherial and johan edlund joined the band on bass.
