Why did Rod and Jason, and Tom Walling leave the band? How did you find Russell?
The member changes over the years were mostly a result of personal problems and things of that nature. After the first CD, Rod just wasn't working out and left. By a strange coincidence, Rod had actually introduced Thomas Miller to Russell in a clothes store in NY. So, a few months later, when Rod was gone, Thomas Miller remembered Russell and the band contacted him.

MICHAEL ROMEO - Yes, it was when we were recording Damnation Game, in the studio, it just wasn't happening. Rod left and we called Russell to check him out and see if he was interested. He came down, we jammed, and he recorded all the vocals tracks in a few days. About Jason, he left after Divine Wings, there was some tension in the band, everyone was a bit stressed out from all the recording, and Jason was having some other personal problems that seemed to add to things. We weren't happy with him and he wasn't happy either, so it was a mutual thing that he left. We started working with Tom Walling for Twilight in Olympus, and new problems arose with him. He couldn't make any commitments to the band, and was growing disinterested. We were still friends with Jason, and one day he came down to jam and things felt much better and he sounded great.
