In 2001 Lars Lindén joined just to the recordings of ”Please… die!” (Lindén making his debut with the band at the year’s 2000 Decibel festival and Wacken Open Air). ”The More You Suffer” (2003) and ”Aren’t You Dead Yet” (2004) would continue to see the band expand fan and worldwide sales base as well as touring in Europe, USA & Japan, playing a number of festivals (Sweden Rock Festival (SE), Metal Meltdown (USA), Fury Fest (FR), Pressure Fest (DE), Kaltenbach Open Air (A), Summer Breeze (DE), Fuck the Commerce (DE) Metal Fest URI (CH) etc. and releasing the live DVD ”Destroy Live” (2004).
