They won a Juno for 'Best Hard Rock Album' in 1995 but this failed to gain them an accessible place in the music world. Sewell pushed for the ever increasing use of electronics and following extensive touring for the 'Pirate Radio' EP in 1996, the band played their 'final' show to at The Volcano in Kitchener, Ontario. The members agreed to go their separate ways amicably to pursue other musical interests and the members splintered with Sewell forming Def. System while Darren Quinn, Jason Cuddy, Chris Harris, and Dean Bentley, together with local tattoo artist Shane Faulkner, began writing, recording and touring in 1996. Touring continued throughout 1998, but the music industry had left metal behind and MVM split up for good in 1999.
