JL America came the band's independent 1994 release, Dark Tomorrow, which was a split EP with fellow Floridians Eterne De Sade. This became Killing Addiction's last recording during the formative years of Floridian death metal, as Chris York parted ways for personal reasons, and the remaining members decided, at the time, the band had run its course. However, before their departure in early 1994, Killing Addiction was voted the Best North Florida Band at the 4th Annual Tampa Bay Metal Awards (September, 1993). 2006- In early 2006, after 12 years of silence, Killing Addiction reformed ready to pick up where they left off. Their first studio effort to return to the scene was Fall of the Archetypes, released as a full-length album on Xtreem Music (Spain), and as a limited-edition, six-song EP. Archetypes was recorded at DOW Studios (which also produced Morbid Angel's Heretic album), in Sefner, Florida, and Aeon Studios, in Ocala, Florida. This recording included Gabriel Lewandowski as the band's new drummer. Although some of their music's basic elements remained, there was a deliberate effort to modernize some aspects of their sound. The result was a faster, more aggressive style and songs that demonstrated improved musicianship and arrangement. No live performances were undertaken until November 2013, which also saw the return of former drummer Chris York. Since then, the band has shared the stage with Obituary, Exhumed, Gruesome, DRI, Destruction, Warbringer, Jungle Rot, Druid Lord, Exmortus, and many others. In September 2014, Killing Addiction recorded a two-song EP entitled When Death Becomes An Art, independently released on CD, which was also licensed as a 7-inch EP on Inverse Dogma Records (Italy) in early 2015. This venture was recorded and produced by Ray Helton at Helton Music, Ocala, Florida, and demonstrates a return to a musical style closer to the trademark sound of Omega Factor, albeit with the improved musical aspects of Fall of the Archetypes. Early 2016 saw a return to studio work, which led to the release of the Shores of Oblivion four-song EP, by Xtreem Music, also licensed for a vinyl edition by Inverse Dogma Records. Founding member/guitarist Chad Bailey died on September 25, before the official release date of Shores of Oblivion. His absence left a personal and creative void as the remaining members moved forward together. Shores of Oblivion drew much praise from press and fans being named among the Best of 2016 by
