The band released a 2 song ep called D-day with trax "Lombardo & Vote/Kill/Destroy". Mix and mastered by Nicky Bellmore at Dexters Recording Lab. Shortly after Matt Rogue had to leave the band to tour with long time friend Dallas Alexander.
. In 2024, the band invited D-day Engineer Nicky Bellmore ( Many Eyes, Dee Snider, Kingdom of Sorrow and Toxic Holocaust ) to play drums on the newest record.
Currently the singles "Ritual", "Soul Destroyer", " Defeat the Elite", "Blood Death Venom" and "Better off Dead" are out on all streaming services.
