At the end of 1996, they toured throughout Europe with Cathedral and label mates, My Dying Bride.
In the early summer of 1997, they recorded their second album, Mystica, and guitarist Paul Allender left the band to spend more time with his family (however he eventually rejoined Cradle of Filth).
In 2002, Peaceville released The Blood Divine compilation album Rise Pantheon Dreams.
Sarginson briefly joined Cradle of Filth before the band settled in with Swedish drummer Adrian Erlandsson, who was later replaced by Martin Škaroupka.
