Citing a breach of contract from the label that stemmed from inadequate promotion, Dreadnaught had the album re-released on BlahBlahBlah Records in 1997.
The independently released EP Idiosyncrasy appeared in 1998 and at approximately the same time, drummer Aaren Suttil (aka Suds) formed a thrash metal band called Atomizer while still remaining a member of Dreadnaught.
The band also signed to Roadrunner Records through what was at the time an Australian-based development roster called Dark Carnival.
He was replaced by Ando McDougall; in the interim, Dreadnaught recorded an EP in early 2001 called One Piece Missing with Michael Meagher on bass.
Almost immediately, Suttil resigned from the group in order to concentrate on his other band Atomizer and he was replaced by Sandy Bettenay.
