Their final line-up in that period consisted of:
Ken Lloyd (vocals)
Kaz Iwaike (guitar)
Masaru Yoshida (guitar, formerly support guitar)
Rikiji Masuda (bass)
Souta Furuton (drums)
In September 2007 Ken, Kaz and Rikiji reunited and performed at a couple of concerts in Japan, when a new Oblivion Dust album was announced to come. This album is planned to be released in January 2008 along with a bonus DVD containing footage from those concerts.
During the Oblivion Dust hiatus, most - if not all - of the members continued to work in the music industry. Notably, both Kaz and Furuton have backed up HYDE and Ken Lloyd founded a band called FAKE? along with Inoran.

No Regrets
Oblivion Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filled myself with rubbish, I know I did it, I did it
I did all this and more and wondered who to blame
But I can't pretend anymore, I did the damaging
This bad position that I'm in, I'm twisted and I'm bent and I'm 360
Created so much regret
I don't know baby, but it's all gone funny, it's all gone honey
No regrets
I've been asleep and now I'm wide awake
No regrets
I don't apologize for what I did or anything I've ever said
Bang baby hit the core
Yeah maybe they don't know
Damn baby instant glow
Do what you will and go
Bang baby now I'm dead
Lip bullet in my head
Damn baby don't you care
That I'm puking with my friend
Over here you son of a bitch
I'd like a word in your ear
Let me make it clear
How little I want to hear
That you think I should be repentful
I'm resentful of the implication
My station in life has always been my own creation
Never regret the things I did to get me what I got
Got everything I'll ever need but easy it was not
But she's my reason for being alive
And well not dwelling in hell
Where I fell and well what brought me here it is the story I tell
I lick my cuts when I bleed 'till it coagulates
Rejecting the pain till it leaves, it emigrates
Back on my feet again falling into the groove
Making up for lost time
Picking up missed moves
All I'm going to do is keep doing what I do
All you need to know is that I still think you're a fool
Never be taking to letting you get to me breaking me down like that
Bring it on, be bringing the pain
And I will just kick back
No regrets
I've been asleep and now I'm wide awake
No regrets
I don't apologize for what I did (do you hear what I...)
Bang baby hit the core
Yeah maybe they don't know
Damn baby instant glow
Do what you will and go
Bang baby now I'm dead
Lip bullet in my head
Damn baby don't you care
That I'm puking all over you
So fucking sorry
(Comin' around again!)
Bang baby yeah yeah
Damn baby yeah yeah
Bang baby yeah yeah
Damn baby yeah yeah
No regrets
No regrets

I did myself damage, I know I did it by myself yeah
I caused damage to myself and acknowledge that I did it on my own
Filled myself with rubbish, I know I did it, I did it
I consumed negative things and know that it was my own doing
I did all this and more and wondered who to blame
I did a lot of harm, but no longer question who is responsible
But I can't pretend anymore, I did the damaging
I can no longer deny that I was the one who caused harm
This bad position that I'm in, I'm twisted and I'm bent and I'm 360
I am in a difficult situation and feel disoriented
Created so much regret
I feel a lot of remorse for my actions
I don't know baby, but it's all gone funny, it's all gone honey
I don't understand the current state of things, it feels strange and unfamiliar
No regrets
I have no remorse for my past actions
I've been asleep and now I'm wide awake
I was unaware before, but now I am alert and conscious
I don't apologize for what I did or anything I've ever said
I do not express regret or remorse for my past actions or words
Bang baby hit the core
Something impactful happened
Yeah maybe they don't know
Others might not understand
Damn baby instant glow
Wow, that was impressive
Do what you will and go
Act as you wish and leave
Bang baby now I'm dead
Something has killed me
Lip bullet in my head
Metaphorical language for the impact of words
Damn baby don't you care
Why don't you have empathy?
That I'm puking with my friend
I'm suffering and my companion is also affected
Over here you son of a bitch
Listen to me, you offensive person
I'd like a word in your ear
I want to talk to you privately
Let me make it clear
I will explain in a way you can understand
How little I want to hear
I am not interested in what you have to say
That you think I should be repentful
You suggest that I should feel remorseful
I'm resentful of the implication
I feel angry about the suggestion
My station in life has always been my own creation
I take responsibility for my own position in life
Never regret the things I did to get me what I got
I don't feel remorse for the actions that helped me achieve success
Got everything I'll ever need but easy it was not
I have all I require, however, it wasn't without difficulty
But she's my reason for being alive
My romantic partner is the motivation for my existence
And well not dwelling in hell
I am not currently living in misery
Where I fell and well what brought me here it is the story I tell
I fell at one point, but my current story is a different one
I lick my cuts when I bleed 'till it coagulates
I attend to my injuries by myself until they heal
Rejecting the pain till it leaves, it emigrates
I tolerate and disregard the pain until it dissipates
Back on my feet again falling into the groove
I'm standing up again and getting into my rhythm
Making up for lost time
Compensating for the time lost
Picking up missed moves
Learning from previous errors
All I'm going to do is keep doing what I do
I'll continue with my current actions
All you need to know is that I still think you're a fool
I still consider you to be foolish
Never be taking to letting you get to me breaking me down like that
I won't let your words affect me to that extent
Bring it on, be bringing the pain
I challenge and welcome any negative experiences
And I will just kick back
I will relax and not be affected
No regrets
I have no remorse for my past actions
No regrets
I have no remorse for my past actions

I remember when I first got this album, put the CD in my car, and heard this song (first track, after all). I was blown away by the heaviness of Kaz's riffs. I'm not that big on the rap in the middle, but hey, it's a great song. Plus, I can sing along, which is always fun.
