Necro (vocals) and Geoff Turney aka Casper (guitar). For the tour OPM was supported by additional musicians.
After the "Menace To Sobriety"-tour, Matthew chose to quit the band. Until this point, Matthew was a very influential and important member of the band, he contributed to all songs of the album as songwriter as well as a singer. Unfortunately, there are no official statements concerning the breakup. Nevertheless, it appears strange that Matthew is not credited in today's biography of the band. Today, Matthew works for KQED, a San Francisco based radio station.
