In contrary to statements of Tenetz that they would never play live, they did eight concerts on Finnish soil in the summer of 1999. In 2000, Thy Serpent changed it lineup a little and went to the studio to record the MCD Death. Up to today, this release remains the last we have heard of Thy Serpent. They never played anywhere again or released music, but never officially stated that they broke up either.
