It was then that they entered the studio to start recording their next release when their drummer Tito Rivera left the band, to whom they replaced with the current drummer; Monev Tips. Following all of this they also got dropped by their record label.

The band, with the new lineup had then announced their new EP which has nine tracks, which was to be titled "Solidarity" and was to be released sometime at the end of 2014.
