The band announced they would enter a hiatus in 2018. The band cited Öjersson being hospitalized by a serious back injury at the end of 2017, and a number of other undisclosed issues, for the band needing to take some time off and “re-evaluate what the future holds for the band.” In February 2019, the band announced their return to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their 2009 album Night Is the New Day , with an anniversary tour and deluxe release of the album. Their eleventh studio album, City Burials , was released in April 2020; its first single was “Lacquer”. Unable to tour in support the album due to the oncoming of the COVID-19 pandemic , the band instead turned to releasing further music. This included releasing a new live album Dead Air (2020), a compilation album Mnemosynean (2021) and a box set of the band’s earliest material Melancholium (2022). and forging ahead into writing and recording a twelfth studio album.
