He was released in August, but was taken into custody a few days later, and sentenced to serve more time due to additional acts of violence. Michayah has stated that he used to be a member of a criminal gang, but has since given up that lifestyle to focus on his religion and music. The band's debut album was initially to be titled "Mystery of Iniquity (Luciferian Evangelium Cantata)" and released by Shadow Records, but it was never recorded.
