Melbourne since the European tour in September 1998. At approximately the same, Betts formed another band, Kymera, with ex-members of Cyclone Tracy and Catwitch, but would remain with Pegazus until after the recording of the next album. Kymera would later become Black Majesty. The Headless Horseman, released in 2002, was the first Pegazus album in three years and would prove to be its last for Nuclear Blast. Following Betts' departure, Black Majesty guitarist Hanny Mohammed became the band's bass player for its infrequent live appearances. Robbie Stoj then left Pegazus in September 2003, with Bernie Goldstein temporarily filling the role, and the band recorded some performances for a live album. In the meantime, the group's relationship with Nuclear Blast came to an end with Pegazus claiming the label had virtually ignored its previous release. The live album Live! – Thunder Down Under was released independently by the band in February 2004. At around the same time, Robbie Stoj was finally replaced by Ange Sotiro and Betts by Joe Fata, who had ironically also replaced him briefly in Black Majesty. After several years of inactivity Pegazus returned to the live circuit in 2009, but not before Rob Thompson left for personal reasons and was replaced by original vocalist Justin Fleming. Corey Betts also returned to the fold, replacing Joe Fata on bass. The band played comeback shows in both Melbourne and Sydney in early 2009 and released In Metal We Trust in 2011. In 2013 it was announced that Justin Fleming had left the band again. He was replaced by new singer Axel Winter. The band played their first show with Winter in August. Drummer Andrew Sharp also joins and they played several Melbourne and Sydney shows until December 2015. January 2016 saw the departure of Corey Betts and Axel Winter. Axel went on to join Skärlet. New members Joe Stanley on vocals and Matt Ambrose on bass were announced by Johhny Stoj as of June 2016. They have since played Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Victorian country shows as well as several home town Melbourne shows and are currently writing new material.
