After leaving the band in 1990, vocalist Randy "Wolf" Mikelson formed a new band called Wolf Gang. While they split before releasing an album (the existence of studio demos is unknown, although likely as they had a lot of original material and T-Shirts as well as other merch sold at shows) they played numerous headlining shows in Cleveland and Toledo, often playing for a full hour set of all original material, except for two Damien songs at the end (sometimes "Every Dog Has Its Day" or "I Play For You", and others, changing the covers between each show). Mikelson was replaced in Damien by singer Troy Moore, who recorded a demo and a self-titled tape EP, both recorded at his own Moore Sound Studios. One song from the era, "Silent Rage" would later be recorded on "Angel Juice" (although with lyrics of one verse changed). The Moore era was very little-known outside of local fans who saw them play and the releases from this period are Damiens two rarest. A rare promo band photo of this lineup appeared on the flyer for Summer Bash '92, the latest of the Sandusky based Metal Bash Concert Series, where they co-headlined with the live debut of Marquis de Sade and were opened by Seductive Blasphemy, Mystik, Stealth, Vince Vatican, Wreckless Opp. and several others, and is the only band photo of this era to surface so far.

Mikelson would later rejoin Damien, but not before forming a Heavy/Power Metal band called Fetish Doll in the late 90s/early 2000s and which later reformed in 2017. They released 3 demo CDs, "The Worm", "Vile", and "Within", that remain very rare.
