of the band, David has formed his own yet to be named project with top musicians alongside Nelson on Bass, Carlos has become a gun for hire after a short spell with rockers 'Gin Annie', and William's projects are currently unknown. Zal has since retired once again from the music industry and will be releasing a novel sometime in 2020/2021. Cleminson is referenced in the novel The Sacred Art of Stealing, by the Scottish author Christopher Brookmyre, as the basis of the disguises worn by bank robbers during a heist, and inspired the name of the character Zal Innez. Guthrie Govan has cited Cleminson as one of his most important influences and considers him to have been "his Jimmy Page" in his early guitar development. The album 'Ellipsis' by Orphans of the Ash, Zal's collaboration with Billy McGonagle from /sin'dogs/, was released on 29 November 2022.
