Their third album was supposed to be recorded in Germany in 2020, but did not occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2022, drummer Frank Lees said in a statement, "The album is a culmination of years of downtime and introspection, false starts and disappointments, bushfires and pandemics. Factors that forced us to dig out parts of ourselves to sculpt a body of work that was as uncompromising and raw as our previous releases, but executed with more polish and finesse than we thought ourselves capable of." [3] The album was released on 14 October 2022.

In January 2025, the group announced the release of their fourth studio album, To All the Ones That I Love, which came out on 2 May 2025. [4]
