According to an interview on February 9, 2014, Wróblewski revealed the band's hiatus since 2010 was permanent due to problems with vocalist Taff's health.[3] However, on July 16, 2018, it was announced the band had reunited and was in the studio recording their upcoming third album, due in 2019.[4] The band released Humanoid on April 12, 2019.[5]
