In 2012, the band changed its name to Internal Dissection. Anjar and Addy were unsatisfied with their project concept and disbanded Internal Dissection in mid 2013.

The twosome then set up a new project titled Necrotized and recruited bassist Arindra Prasetyo from thrash metal act Braindrilled. Hendrix from previous project was employed as additional drummer. Addy then fronted the newborn brutal death metal band Necrotized.
