In April of the same year, the remaining members announced they had found a new singer: Mathias Elsholz of Twelve after Elf, who was already familiar to fans after his vocals briefly featured on the track "Falsche Götter" (False Gods) from the album Himmelfahrt.
On September 23rd 2005, it was announced that the rest of the tours for the year would be cancelled, as Mathias had left in a "total surprise" to the band.
The reason was not given on the Megaherz homepage, but in the Eisbrecher forums Mathias announced he and his wife were expecting twins, and he wished to devote more time to his soon-to-be family.
