Fasciana had managed to rehire Hoffman, Barrett, and Culross, with Gordon Simms joining as their bassist. The band approached their sixth album, The Fine Art of Murder , which was hailed as their best work yet. However, Fasciana stated he was not impressed with Hoffman’s performance on the release and that it “wasn’t coming from the heart”. In 2000, the band released their seventh album, Envenomed , with the same lineup, through Arctic Music. The band worked with local producer and engineer Jeremy Staska ( New Found Glory , Shai Hulud , Strongarm ). The process for the album was slower than they were used to, which allowed them time to work on the release more, which Fasciana appreciated. He noted that the vocals required a great deal of time, with Barrett and Hoffman collaborating to bring them to fruition. Envenomed II came later, which saw the album remastered with a Dark Angel cover.
