In late December 2004, lead singer/guitarist Mieszko Talarczyk was reported missing as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, according to a statement by Jakobson through Nasum.com, the day after the disaster. On 17 February 2005 it was confirmed that his body was identified, and that he died as a result of the tsunami on 26 December. The band decided to break up.

The other members returned to the bands they had been playing in besides Nasum (Skytt continued work with Regurgitate). Anders Jakobson (the only remaining founding member), while in the process of founding death metal band Coldworker, worked on the 2CD compilation Grind Finale. This had been a work long in-progress: there was talk of Relapse issuing a compilation of Nasum's 'Swedish' 1995-1997 material as early as 2000. In the wake of the acclaim Nasum achieved via Helvete, the compilation again came up: it had a title (one which ultimately became unsuitable in the wake of Talarczyk's death), had been expanded to two CDs, and had been being sparingly worked on in-between tours and Talarcyzk's then hectic schedule at Soundlab. The album was finally released in 2006. In March 2008, Relapse Records released a live-album of one of Nasum's live shows in Osaka, Japan, called Doombringer.
