After a festival appearance in Norway in 2006, at which Putnam completely passed out on stage and was unconscious for the entire gig, both Kozik and Gillis quit the band. Martin (now out of jail) soon returned to the band and got Linehan to return as well. Anal Cunt released the "Defenders of the Hate" full-length CD in 2007, which featured bonus out-of-print tracks, such as those from the "13 Bands Who Think You're Gay" and "Thrash of the Titans" compilations, as well as the tracks from the "split with Flächenbrand". Other releases that had been promised included a sequel to "Picnic of Love" ("Picnic of Love II") and an "Anal Cunt/Gay Bar" split, featuring unreleased Anal Cunt material from the Putnam/Martin/Linehan era on one side and a recording of Seth Putnam in a gay bar on the other. These albums were never recorded. The "Defenders of the Hate" re-release sparked another tour in March 2007 which included an appearance at the Los Angeles Murderfest Version 3.0 on March 24, 2007. with Accused, Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer, and others, and a UK festival appearance later that year.
