In 2012, he joined in collaboration with fellow Middlesex University student, Nikolas Jon Aarland who helped record guitar parts. Nikolas was involved in the recording process of the early demos but left the project in 2013 soon after his parts were re-recorded at Aubitt Studios for the GEP release of the album. This was due to his ongoing work with a number of other projects.〔(Facebook Page announcement of Nikolas Jon Aarland's departure from the band, dated 28 May 2013 ) Retrieved 11 March 2014〕 He was replaced with guitarist, Ollie Hannifan〔(Facebook Page announcement of Ollie Hannifan joining the band, dated 24 June 2013 ) Retrieved 11 March 2014〕 who helped record a number of the remaining guitar parts for the album as well as contributions from IQ guitarist, Michael Holmes.
