Editing Lake of Tears (section)

=== The breakup ===
Because of personal and creative differences, but also (and perhaps more-so) because of the lack of attention the band received from their label, the band went their separate ways shortly after the release of ''Forever Autumn'', though they were still contractually bound to deliver one more album for [[Black Mark Production]]. This being the case, Brennare and Sahlgren retreated to the studio to record ''[[The Neonai]]'', an [[electronica]]-influenced album relying on drum machines and uncharacteristically slick production values. The resulting album was released in 2002, and featured some of the band's most inspired songwriting and memorable melodies, regardless of the hasty manner in which it was composed and recorded.
