Following their “Disambiguation Era”, the band went on somewhat of a hiatus, focusing on other personal projects, and other endeavors—however it was great news to hear that they would reunite in 2015. Their following album Erase Me (2018) released 8 years after their previous and was a success, set up a new chapter for the band and reaffirmed their relevance.
