Disbandment and return

On 1 July 2004, nearing a new album release, Marcus Menna suffered a cardiac arrest after a failed liposuction procedure and his brain was left with almost no oxygenation for 20 minutes. That left him in a coma for two months.^[2] The album Jardim de Cores was released in November 2004 with no promotional efforts given the singer's condition and the band was finished, since he would have to spend years in recovery. They attempted a comeback on 9 September 2005 with a test show with vocalist Fábio Allman, but they didn't get much attention from the public or a label and the initiative didn't go any further.^[3]

The band returned for a celebration tour in 2010 with Menna.^[4] In February 2020, they returned with vocalist Vinny^[5][6][7] following Menna's refusal to perform with them again.^{[8][9][10][11]} In January 2021, they released the EP LS Jack & Vinny, Volume 1.^[12][13]

In 2022, they promoted a tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary.^[5][14]

In 2023, Vinny suffered a bruise in his vocal chords and left the band.^[15]
