Sa rozlúčili s basgitaristom Wannesom Gubbelsom. Dôvod? Rozdielne názory na hudbu. Nahradiť by ho mal Alwin Zuur (PULVERIZER, ESCUTCHEON).

"Since ASPHYX is a non-compromising band, we had no other choice than to find a suitable replacement. A replacement in the very person of Alwin Zuur [PULVERIZER, ESCUTCHEON], who, we think, was the missing link. We, however, wish Wannes all the best for the future, musically and personally, and thank him for the past three years.

"Besides the fact that Alwin is a very nice guy, he's also a 100% true old-school death metalhead who, just like us, only wants one thing and one thing only and that's playing death the brutal way without compromises.

"Alwin and ASPHYX already rehearsed and it was a great experience with him on board. The match was there. Alwin thinks and plays 100% ASPHYX and being already a long time fan he stated himself that 'a dream came true.'"
