Chemlab broke up in 1997, and reformed in 2004 with Jared as the only original member. Working with the members of Acumen Nation, old touring guitarist Greg Lucas and Julian Beeston (Nitzer Ebb, etc), he recorded and released an album entitled "Oxidizer". Recently, after a massive seven year hiatus from the stage, Jared and a backing band comprised of the members of Electro-Industrial group Mindless Faith has taken Chemlab back on the road again. They have performed around the country at a number of festivals and are planning tours for 2007. The album "Rock Whore vs Dance Floor", a varied collection of remixes from "Oxidizer" by Die Warzau, 16Volt, Cubanate and many others, was released in late spring, 2006.

In the spring of 2018, it was announced that Chemlab would return for Cold Waves VII in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles to perform Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar in its entirety to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the album's release. The band also performed at Cold Waves VIII, along with a number of other standalone shows. The band later released the compilation Tape Decay in 2019.

Lo Grade Fever
Chemlab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Horizon...stumbled into overload
The lyrics to Chemlab's song Lo-Grade Fever are cryptic and open to interpretation. The first line, "Lo revelations at slow revolutions," could suggest that the singer is experiencing revelations or insights that are slowly coming to light. However, the use of "Lo" as a prefix could also imply that these revelations are of a lower or lesser quality. It's also possible that the line is a reference to the low-grade fever mentioned in the title of the song - a fever that is not severe but still causes discomfort.
The following line, "scratching the light off the Horizon," is equally enigmatic. It could represent the singer's attempt to clear away the fog of confusion or ignorance and gain a clearer view of what lies ahead. "Horizon" could be metaphorical, representing the future or the singer's path in life. However, "scratching" implies a certain amount of struggle or strife, as if the singer is exerting effort to gain this clarity.
The final line, "stumbled into overload," suggests that the singer may have pushed too hard, taken on too much, or reached some sort of breaking point. "Overload" could be physical or emotional, but either way, the singer seems to have exceeded their limit. Overall, the lyrics to Lo-Grade Fever are shrouded in mystery and leave a lot of room for interpretation.
