In late 2008, Drew Carothers left the band and was replaced by Josh Anderson of the Florida band Iamdivide. The band continued to tour with bands including After the Burial, Oceano, Too Pure to Die, Waking the Cadaver and Rose Funeral.

In October 2010, during the recording of Bleed, Josh Anderson left the band. He was replaced by Rick Norman, formerly of In The Ruins, also a past member of Catalepsy.
