In 1983, the group entered a dormant period, and the members did not perform together again until 2000, when the band reunited for a few select concerts and gigs in the Triangle area in celebration of Arrogance's 30th anniversary.
The band's current lineup consists of Rod Abernethy, Don Dixon, Scott Davison, Robert Kirkland, and Marty Stout.
A few months later at Crescent City Studios in Greensboro, the band made its first recording—a 45-rpm single of two original tunes, “Black Death” and “An Estimation”, that was released in the summer.
