[6] In 2004 Maurice de Jong conceived a new musical project under which he intended to compose and record named Dimlit Hate Cellar.

Four albums have been released under the name: The Night Comes Illuminated with Death (2011), Ancient Paths Through Timeless Voids (2012), Plague Beasts (2014) and Manifestation (2015) Citing exhaustion caused by the bleak nature of his previous work, de Jong founded Seirom with the intent of releasing music emphasizing love and beauty.
