They reformed in 1992 and recruited Andy Flag the following year. The band released their debut album, Die For The Government in 1996 and Flag left shortly after it's release. Flag would be replaced with Jamie "Cock" Townes and the band hired additional guitarist Chris Head.

The band would release three more independent albums, Underground Network, Mobilize and The Terror State. The band signed to major label MCA in 2005, leading to accusations that the band had sold out. The band's major label debut For Blood And Empire was released in 2006. The band's 2008 album The Bright Lights Of America would be their last major label album, as MCA dropped the band after it's release.
