At the same time they began to compose material for the new album "Soul Expression" which was released in October 2007 with the entry of Anton Chaney on drums (Death SS, Rhumornero, Tossic). With the new album Motus Tenebrae deservedly earned the title of one of the best gothic doom metal bands in the Italian music scene. In 2009 the concept album "The Synthetic Bliss" was released. In 2012, Luis McFadden left the band and was replaced by Valerio Voliani (Diesanera) and on december Revalve Records released the album "Double Black".
