In 2006 Acerbus joined guitarist Nattdal's band IXXI, which rendered Ondskapt "basically dead" for 2 years, according to Acerbus, since, around the same time the band's co-founder and drummer Nabemih had moved out of Stockholm and guitarist Wredhe left the band to join Shining which meant the band wasn't able to record new music or perform live since the remaining members weren't available to do so, however both Acerbus and Nabemih kept writing new music for their next album and by 2008 had assembled a new lineup to record and perform live with members of fellow Swedish bands Valkyrja and Mortuus, the most notable being current Amon Amarth drummer Jocke Wallgren. The band signed to Osmose Productions, who released the band's third album "Arisen From the Ashes" in 2010. Nattdal left Ondskapt in 2007 to focus on his bands IXXI and Lifelover but passed away due to an accidental prescription drug overdose in September 9th, 2011.
