marked the only song of its kind in the band's catalog. In 2006, the band began work on another album, and had nearly completed it, when Ujuan suffered a vital heart infection that left him hospitalized for months, with continuing health issues long after. The band cancelled their first scheduled concert in the United States at that year's FanimeCon. Although the album was either completed or close to completed, a falling out between Miki and Ujuan prevented its release, despite pressure from Suzuki and Laity to release it. In 2007, Laity confirmed on Guitar Vader's message board that the band had disbanded and a "very large rift" had formed between the band's two key members. No official announcement was ever made.
