* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The founding keyboardist Einar Moen stopped going on tours with the band circa 2005, and only contributed one song for 2010's "Rubicon" despite being one of the two primary songwriters (with Anders Høyvik Hidle, of course) for the previous three albums. Then, he did not play at all on the band's final record, "Darkest White". His absence was never really explained by the rest of the band, though he was listed as a member up until the end.

** ''World of Glass'' gave a more modern spin to their earlier gothic metal sound, introducing copious amounts of electronica, which it mixed artfully with classical elements such as choirs and violins.

The next member to depart was drummer Kenneth Olsson, who was replaced by Tarald Lie; while singer Osten Bergoy scaled back to part time status with the band due to family commitments.

The demo for the seventh album that gave birth to the final version of the songs in ''Darkest White'' were produced between June and September 2012. Soon after, the band re-adjusted the songs by themselves, in an improvised studio at Ole Vistnes' apartment, between September and December 2012. On January 2013, the band entered the studio to make the definitive recordings of the album, finishing in less than a month, the band's shortest recording period so far, and released the album in May 2013. The album was critically well received, and often considered the "real come back" for the band after Vibeke Stene's departure.
