In February 2008 Häxan would replace A.L.A.N with Gigan's friend Stevie Farrow. they would also record a split with Gigan and A.L.A.N's band "Doomhammer." in March 2008 the new founded trio would record "Off to the Graveyard" another 5 track demo with 3 originals one re-recording of "Ebbarah of the deep" and a Cover of "We Bite" by the Misfits. this demo featured Gigan and Kano Switching vocals from song to song and recorded with no Bass. in the summer of 2008 Häxan Recorded another Demo simply called "Häxan 2008." this would be a turning point for Häxan as the band would start playing heavier music. this demo consisted off a re-recording of a song on "Sinister Evil Genral" and 4 other originals. this one would feature Gigan as the vocalist which he reluctently accepted the duty of. in October Häxan would play it's first "Live" show (A term Gigan would use very fucking loosly) as the show would be cut short when a firetruck parked infront of the playing area. ("no fucking lie there were like 90 people there ask Kano he saw it! - Gigan in a 2008 interview) Tragically to all of Häxan's adoring fans, they broke up in early February of 2009. Häxan resurfaced in August 2009 for a final show. there has been talk of 2010 show dates but it is unlikely anything will happen.
