Early in 2001 Lee Tassaker from [[Lycanthia]] joined the band on bass, leaving Vickery as specialist vocalist. By late in 2001 Marsh, Creed and Halford had all left and Decayed Divinity’s style had shifted into Swedish melodic death metal territory with the addition of Prickett and Habib from [[Elysium]] and Chad from [[Grenade]]. A full length album was to be released through Venomous Records but the label collapsed; Vickey and Prickett formed [[Bludgeoner]] in 2002 and Decayed Divinity is no more.
