While Lucassen pursued his solo career, Vengeance's label released "The Last of the Fallen Heroes", promoted as a new studio album but actually a compilation of unfinished demos, in 1994. Goewie, who was heavily struggling as a musician after being fired from the band, later contacted Lucassen, asking him to write him songs. Lucassen wrote two songs, which were later featured on a new Vengeance album, "Back from Flight 19", in 1997; despite participating to this new album, Lucassen did not re-join Vengeance. He later stated about "Back from Flight 19" "I'm not so proud of that album. There's a couple of good songs but it's definitely not Vengeance."
