After the release of the fifth studio album “Eleven Fire Crackers” via Nettwerk, they made their American live debut in 2006 with a seven-city tour which included a stop at the South by Southwest Music Conference.
But the band announced to take a hiatus in 2008. At that time, the band said, “Ellegarden has been in the process of creating a new album since last year, however, during the band's activities, there arose a difference in opinion regarding the motivation for creating a new album. We no longer feel we are able to create an album that we would be satisfied with, and after much discussion we arrived at the conclusion to end the creation of the album.”
In 2018, the band reunioned with their first national tour since the hiatus.
The band released their comeback single “Mountain Top” on September 9, 2022 for the first time in 16 years. - source : Apple Music
