Anarchy and Alchemy

Following the release of Gravity Pulls, Ruth Owen (bass) and Andy Henderson (drums) left the band, and they decided to split up. However, in 2009, vocalist Sonya Madan and guitarist Glenn Johansson started performing again, under the name Calm of Zero. Under this name they recorded two acoustic EPs and performed a few concerts. Some of the songs recorded for the acoustic EPs would be re-recorded for Anarchy and Alchemy, "Reign On" and "Faces in the Mirror".{{cite web|url=http://calmofzero.com/music|title=MUSIC|website=calmofzero.com}} Additionally, calm of zero had also released "Flesh 'N' Bones", "Molotov" and "Autumn Angel" via YouTube and as free downloads.{{cite web|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pPSqbA5FLak|title=calm of zero "flesh and bones"|last=calmofzero|date=10 April 2012|publisher=|via=YouTube}}{{cite web|url=https://myspace.com/calmofzero/music/songs|title=Calm Of Zero|website=Myspace}}
