Vocalist Dan Izzo authorized on for 1992’s Thresholds, which also noticed bassist Chris Anderson substituting for Estes; Anderson himself was changed by bassist Emo Mowery for Nocturnus’ third recording, a self-titled 1993 launch for the Moribund label — the record was also the very first without Browning, who flipped over his drumming responsibilities to Wayne Marcinek. The group quickly dissolved, reforming in 1999 around a roster of Davis, McNenney, Panzer, Mowrey and drummer Rick Bazzaro to record the comeback work Ethereal Tomb.
