Ben Read, from New Zealand death metal band Ulcerate and formerly of hardcore band Kill Me Quickly, joined the band as the new vocalist. 8 Foot Sativa went over to Studio Underground in Sweden again to record their fourth album, titled "Poison of Ages". Corey Friedlander did not perform drums on the album and would later leave the band to focus on his other project Final Eve. Steven Westerberg of Carnal Forge stepped in as a session musician, and Friedlander was ultimately replaced by Jamie Saint Merat, also of Ulcerate.
