Three months later, they released their first demo containing three songs pertaining to the band's original melodic, black metal inspired sound.
In this year, Anthelion also performed at the Metal Immortal (金屬永生) concert in Taiwan, which was headlined by Dark Funeral.
This was a very difficult time for Anthelion; they tried to collect and raise money using a variety of methods, including taking out a mortgage to increase funds.
In February 2007, Chaos, Edward and main composer Code decided to depart the band, leaving the remaining members Troy and Zeist confused about the future of Anthelion, eventually forcing them to announce their disbandment.
The new Anthelion, with four members, travelled to Studio Fredman in June, where Fredrik Nordstrom[5] recorded the album Bloodshed Rebefallen.
The re-interpretation of the song Snake Corpse and the music videos for Bloody Matrimony and The Tome of Broken Souls all became quite popular among fans.
Following this, the band performed several gigs on tour and were again invited to Formoz Festival,[3] which this time had been extended to fill the whole area of Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan.
At the end of 2007, Anthelion started touring other countries in Asia, including the Kantou and Kansai regions in Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe for six gigs in five cities).
After the tour, which lasted more than one year, they had extended their fan base in Asia, making it possible to release the second edition of Bloodshed Rebefallen.
In January 2009, Anthelion went back to the studio to prepare for the recording of their second album; however, bassist Ken decided to leave the band for personal reasons.
In the spring of 2010, Anthelion commenced recording their new songs and resolved to write music more magniloquent than Bloodshed Rebefallen as they wanted to demonstrate a different atmosphere within their new material.
We had many conflicts and difficulties to conquer while producing this album, and you can imagine that if the 'Dao' is for a large group, it wouldn't just satisfy the thinking of the minority.
As expected, in March the Kingdom of Wu, located to the east of the Yangtze River, proclaimed itself as China's leading empire.
