New line-up records two songs

In February 2001, Moyal, Simmons, and Beckham recruited former Twelve Tribes drummer Alexander Vernon (who had relocated from Ohio to Florida to play with metalcore band Red Roses for a Blue Lady), and future Rehasher bass guitarist Guillermo Amador. This line-up wrote and recorded two songs, “Morningleaver” and “This Is Me Hating You,” at Goldentone Studios with McGregor in late February 2001, both of which were released as Morningleaver / This Is Me Hating You by Doghouse Records as part of its 7-inch vinyl Fan Series in March 2001. Further line-up changes resulted with Zachary Swain (formerly of Rosalind, Adversary, and Carlisle) replacing Vernon on drums in March 2001, and Thomas Rankine (formerly of Crestfallen, Bird of Ill Omen, Dead Men’s Theory, Anchorman, and Crucible) replacing Amador on bass guitar in April 2001. Within four months, the band had written enough new songs for a full-length album.
