In 2006 they signed to 12 Gauge Records and released a split album with War From a Harlot's Mouth which utilized the heaviness and syncopated structure of grindcore and coupled that with their clear Death Metal savvy.
In 2008 they released a self-titled album (Molotov Solutionwith a more straight forward, groove oriented approach:
"Molotov Solution's latest release is a big step forward for the band, a much more groove-oriented affair that sees the group toning down the grindcore influences once prominent in their sound for a much more immediate, focused attack."
"I was kind of tired of writing riff after riff after riff, not really repeating anything," Pina says, flanked by heavily tattooed new guitarist Joe Brady, who boasts more ink than "War and Peace." "I wanted to make very solid songs and make things distinguishable on the album.""
Released "The Harbinger" on June 9th 2009 on Metal Blade records.
By Spring 2010, Collison, Oakley, and Johnson had left the band for their own reasons, but on good terms. Molotov Solution continued touring through 2010.

On June 13, 2012, vocalist Nick Arthur revealed that he would be leaving the band.
Shortly after announcing the departure of Nick, guitarist Richie Gomez issued the following statement:
"I've been trying to avoid doing this but I can't answer everybody's questions right now and this is going to be easiest. Molotov Solution has had a long and bumpy ride for many years and has always been fighting to stay above water. All of the hard work and effort sometimes doesn't always weigh out for some and if things must be changed, then so be it. There wasn't tension within the band by any means, just different plans for one another.
"With all that being said, YES, Molotov Solution is done.
"We made handfuls of great friends and met a lot of awesome people. This band gave us all sorts of opportunities and experience. For now, I believe the rest of the guys and I are just going to be adjusting to the changes and figuring out what our future holds for us.
"I just know I'm not done with music quite yet.
