A sophomore effort "Balance Of Power" followed in 1995 with original Asylum memberJosh Hart stepping in on bass (after a stint with fellow D.C. area doom outfit Revelation), but this concluded Unorthodox's '90s productivity. A remastered edition of "Asylum" was issued in 2007 backed with three new Unorthodox recordings, Dale Flood having resurrected the project in the interim, and their return was further marked on September 12th 2008 by studio album number three: "Awaken" (The Church Within Records). Unorthodox's present line-up features Dale Flood (vocals, guitar), Ronnie Kalimon (drums) and Jon Blank (bass).
