As the summer ended, guitarist Joey Camarda was added to the lineup, enhancing the band's sound and making it even heavier. Instilling the Affliction premiered Joey on November 25th at Traxx with Long Island based Post Hardcore band, Bela Kiss. The crowd's response was so great that the band's set was cut short. After the show, the band's name was changed to In Their Agony so that the initials stayed the same. The band had settled into this line up in April 2008 when Joey was asked to leave.
