In 2001, Daniel was looking to put a new project together, starting with guitarist Stefano Fantin, and a string of small club dates were performed in the Barrie area, though, due to musical differences, parted ways.

The group was planning on releasing music and playing shows in addition to MacMaster had been working on his own material. However, neither of these projects were completed due to MacMaster's death.
