Haugg, would be moving on to third guitar and the band announced two new members. Josh Saldanha, a drummer from Dubai and Felix Tilemann who would be replacing Ben on the Bass. The album, The Liberation was eventually released in 2019 and entered the German Top100 Album Charts at 45. Following the release of the album, Saldanha was replaced by Martin Schulz on drums. After Tilemann had to leave the band due to personal reasons, Frank Schumacher took over the bass for live shows in 2019, until Robby Kranz took over bass and additional backing vocal duties as a full member at the beginning of 2020. Following the cancelation of further shows due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Disillusion did a livestream event in April 2020. Following this, the band started with the songwriting process for the next album. AYAM After performances in the summer of 2022 at festivals such as Graspop Metal Meeting and Dong Open Air, the band announced in early August that the fourth album will be called AYAM and will be released worldwide on November 4th of the same year. At the same time they released Am Abgrund, the album's opener, as the first single. This was followed by a joint European tour in September with Obscura (band) and Persefone, which brought Disillusion to countries such as Italy and the UK for the first time. After the release of the second single Tormento, the band released the album AYAM at the beginning of November, which was highly praised by fans and the press alike and reached number 35 in the German album charts, marking the highest chart entry in the band's history.
