Kimmo Hänninen left the band and bassist Timo Sahlberg left shortly after.
When the band found a new guitarist, Vesa Nupponen, the decision was made that Tero Vaaja would switch to the bass, and Excalion would continue as a five-member band with one guitar.In May 2006, the band began to record their second album, Waterlines.
The new material is more melodic, heavy, and rich.
It is a mix of Progressive and Power Metal.
The band is said to have found their “own sound”.
The recordings once again took place in Watercastle Studio.
During the Fall of 2006 it became clear that their new album had potential and some bigger record companies were interested in licensing the album.
Sound Riot Records decided to license ‘Waterlines’ to Limb Music worldwide; however, it was also licensed to Stay Gold/Art Union Records exclusively for the Japanese market.
It was released March 2, 2007.On 29 January 2010, the new album called High Times was released.
