Following Burås' death, vocalist Sivert Høyem and bassist Frode Jacobsen soon decided to continue with the completion of the release. The majority of Burås' guitar parts had been recorded when he died, and the rest of Madrugada stated that finishing the album was like therapy for them. Madrugada was largely recorded during May 2007 at Water Music Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey, with additional recordings at the Magic Shop in New York City and Svenska Grammofon Studio in Gothenburg. The album sold 82,400 copies in Norway during its first year of release.[1]
After the release of the album, the band announced that they would embark on a final tour before splitting up and performed their last concert on 15 November 2008 at Oslo Spektrum. In June 2018, it was announced that Høyem, Jacobsen and original drummer Jon Lauvland Pettersen had reformed the band for a series of shows in 2019. The band released their sixth studio album, Chimes at Midnight, in 2022.
