Shawn left the band in early 1998 to pursue an alternate musical direction. Their second CD, "Where Broken Angels Lie," was released in May 1998 with Nilaihah Records, which was started by Kristy to promote talented, original electronic bands. "Forward," The Azoic's third CD, was released on Nilaihah Records in 2001. In 2003, The Azoic signed a record deal throughout Europe with Infacted Recordings of Germany.
