In 2003, they released a split record with Swedish band Victims, it serves as transition point for the band between the material from the previous releases and their next record; 'Nightmares', their last album, was released on Jade Tree that same year. Further influenced by Tragedy, it is their most popular, melodic and influential record. Not all the aspects of their sound are derived from Tragedy but rather they simultaneously helped define and further develop what was later known to become 'neocrust'. Both bands evolved at the same time and possessed differing elements, however the Tragedy influence is there since both bands are close friends and reside in the same place.
The band split up in fall 2005 after doing a tour with the legendary UK band Subhumans.
On October 12, 2009 a reunion show at the Satyricon in Portland, OR for February 21, 2010 was announced via the band's MySpace blog. A limited number of shows were since performed. The 2010 live album entitled 'Live Hell' documents one of these performances. Their latest release is a 2012 two-song single entitled 'Rejoice the End / Rage of Sanity'. It is very melodic and even more similar to the neocrust style Tragedy became known for.
Brad Boatright became a producer/sound engineer and founded his own recording label/facility referred to as 'Audiosiege' in 2011 which has become considerably popular in the hardcore scene worldwide, many artists want their music produced by him.

All in Due Time
From Ashes Rise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felled, from shaky foundations to holes in the sky. Is this the past that
We have built? The higher they stack, the louder they fall.
The lyrics of From Ashes Rise's song All in Due Time address the cyclical nature of history and the consequences of human ambition. The first line, "a litany of empires," refers to a long list of powerful kingdoms and nations throughout history, which have risen to great heights before ultimately falling. The song's lyrics suggest that this pattern is a defining theme of human history, as demonstrated by the "castles and skylines erected and felled" over time.
The song also speaks to the flawed foundations upon which empires are often built. The line "from shaky foundations to holes in the sky" suggests that these empires are often built on unstable ground, and that their ambitious goals may ultimately prove unsustainable. The repetition of the phrase "the higher they stack, the louder they fall" reinforces this idea, as it suggests that the greater the ambition, the more devastating the eventual failure.
Overall, the lyrics of All in Due Time warn against unchecked human ambition and the consequences that often come with it. They suggest that we must be mindful of the past and the patterns of history, in order to build a stable and sustainable future for ourselves.

Numerous empires have been built and their defining characteristic is the construction of castles and tall buildings that touch the sky
Felled, from shaky foundations to holes in the sky.
These empires have also fallen, from those that were built on unstable foundations to those that were so high they left holes in the sky
Is this the past that We have built?
Reflecting on this history, the author wonders if this is the legacy that humanity has created for itself
The higher they stack, the louder they fall.
The greater and more ambitious these empires became, the more spectacularly they collapsed.
