1998, with Kleisath, Neptune, Colbert, and Dominguez being the core of the band, with Chris Carrabba of Vacant Andys joining on vocals. Further Seems Forever would begin to work on new material, signing with Tooth & Nail Records in the process, after sending them a demo which contained four-songs. Around the time the album was finally being prepared to record, Carrabba was planning to leave the band. However, the band debuted in 1999, From the 27th State, with Carrabba on the EP. In 2000, Strongarm reunited at Furnace Fest in Alabama over August 11 through 13th, with the lineup of Kleisath and the Advent members. However, in the song "Trials", Kleisath moved aside to let Matt Fox of Shai Hulud play drums. In 2001, The Moon is a Down, was released by Further Seems Forever, with the same lineup. In December 2001, Kleisath filled in as drummer for indie rock band The Rocking Horse Winner, when their drummer Matthew Crum took sick. In 2003, Further Seems Forever released their third album, How to Start a Fire, which would come out with a returning Kleisath, Neptune, and Colbert, but Dominguez and Carrabba departed. The two were replaced by Jason Gleason on vocals and Derek Cordoba on guitars. The same year, Shai Hulud released their sophomore album, That Within Blood Ill-Tempered, which saw Kleisath writing the drums for the album, though it was recorded by Tony Tintari. Gleason would depart after the album. The band would hire former Sense Field vocalist Jon Bunch.
