Bobby briefly joined Snake River Conspiracy for a while, and Jay formed his own independent record label, D1 Music, with his father. In 2004, Orgy's third album, "Punk Statik Paranoia," was released under D1, but with little to no radio play or recognition from the mainstream music media.
Ryan and Amir have also started a side project known as Julien-K, with a much more electronic focus, and have released a song featuring the vocals of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park on the recent Underworld Evolution soundtrack. They have since formed the project Dead By Sunrise with Bennington. Amir Derakh was immortalised in the Coal Chamber song Amir of the Desert. He produced their debut album. Jay Gordon appeared on the follow up "Chamber Music".
When asked for an Orgy update in late July 2008, Shuck informed fans that Orgy's return is still underway but their priority is getting the much delayed Julien-K album released. During a video interview at the annual Californian NAMM 2009 convention, Derakh mentioned a 2010 Orgy reunion.
On March 30, 2010, through a video to his Julien-K, Dead By Sunrise, and Orgy followers, Shuck informed that there are plans for a tour in 2010. On October 25, 2010, Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh informed on the Julien-K blog that "As of Oct. 26th we will no longer be part of Orgy. Jay will continue making music without the original members. On October 30, 2010, Jay Gordon released a statement via his official Facebook profile stating that he still owns the Orgy name and wants to continue forth creating new material for the band. Jay wrote that all previous members of the band were too busy with numerous side-projects to continue with the original band.
On November 7, 2011, Blabbermouth.net published a news story detailing the bitter feud between vocalist Gordon and guitarists Shuck and Derakh that has spiraled out of control after Gordon revealing his plans to assemble a band of musicians and begin touring under the name Orgy.
On February 3, 2012, it was announced that Orgy would embark on a five-week run titled the Bad Blood Tour. The new lineup features members of Deadsy, Snot, and Run Run Run. Vocalist Jay Gordon is the only original member of Orgy appearing on this tour; the support acts are the Texas-based One-Eyed Doll Cleveland-based industrial metal band Ventana and Faultline from Richmond, Virginia. The band has reportedly been in the studio in recent weeks recording new material, including a collaboration with Skrillex. This was confirmed after they cancelled the last five shows of their tour.
On August 4, 2012, Orgy linked to a 30 second demo of a new song, "Grime of the Century" via their Twitter and Facebook page.
In 2013, Orgy embarked on the Wide Awake and Dead Tour with Vampires Everywhere! and Davey Suicide.

Orgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see the real pig in the mirror
Revenge you breed
I hate your skeletons
Begging to get out
One by one
Don't let your secrets get out
Keep it in
This is you
Create a new fantasia
'cause it beats hating yourself
Hating yourself
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
Violet pretty
You show your face
You're always fiending
So you crave
Laying the dumb ones down
You love the
Thrill of the chase
This is you
Laid you down then walked on you
Torrid binges bit you throughout
Misery for two
Choking, choking on your sweetness
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
Come fetch with me
Come fetch with me
I took fifteen from you
And you'll never get this back
Truly disgraceful
Don't you know
You're not the lucky one
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
You came first into mind
Known to feel unkind
Blind by what we're showing
Known to feel unkind
You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me you'll know (I didn't know)
Promise me you'll know
You can't promise me.
The lyrics of Orgy's song Fiend delve into the theme of self-hate and manipulation. The song starts with questioning the authenticity behind one's painted face and urges the listener to see the real monster within. The lyrics are directed towards a person who is breeding revenge and hiding their skeletons, afraid to let their secrets out. The main message is that the brain-dead circle is the person themselves, creating a new fantasia in their minds to escape the hatred they have for themselves. The lyrics also mention the concept of laying down the "dumb ones" and enjoying the thrill of the chase. The final verse implies a feeling of betrayal towards someone who has taken something from them without the intention of giving it back.
Overall, the song portrays the idea that the monsters who one thinks is outside is, in fact, someone’s inner demons. People manipulate and harm themselves, and it is their doing that they end up in that tough spot. It is, however, essential to break the cycle of self-hate and come out strong.
