That summer, Rutan left Morbid Angel, stating that he wished to devote more time to Hate Eternal.

South Florida musician Randy Piro (a friend of Roddy) began filling in as Anderson's replacement.

After spending much of the winter dealing with internal differences and personal situations, Roddy announced his departure from Hate Eternal in late March 2006.

[2] With pending tour obligations, Erik Rutan and Randy Piro continued on and recruited drummer Kevin Talley for US appearances in the Spring, and Reno Killerich for the group's rescheduled European run.

[3] A music video for the song "Bringer of Storms" was shot overnight January 16, 2008, by David Brodsky.

Securing a rental and rushing to New York to play their first show with the new lineup, Hate Eternal arrived at BB King's just as the headlining act, The Black Dahlia Murder, were leaving the stage.

[4] Once the shoot concluded, at approximately 7am, the band had not slept in 48 hours, yet continued to their next destination to rejoin the tour.
