In March 2010, the group [[Creative Differences|parted ways]] with singer ZP Theart.

The group's first album with Hudson was released in early 2012.
In 2014, members Sam Totman and Herman Li collaborated with Japanese "Kawaii Metal" group [[BABYMETAL]] on the latter's song "Road of Resistance"; the next year BABYMETAL appeared with DragonForce at the Download Festival in England.
