After releasing three albums Khanate disbanded in 2006, with its members pursuing separate musical endeavors. In 2009, Khanate's Clean Hands Go Foul was issued by Hydra Head.

Blind Idiot God released their fourth full-length album Before Ever After in February 2015, which comprised material recorded over the thirteen-year span since Wyskida joined.
