In 2006, Mark and Katie reformed under the Ripe name with some additional members. They released an EP, "Galaxies And Stars", on Timberyard Records and did some touring. However they disbanded again in 2007.

2. Ripe is a power metal band out of Copenhagen, who’s placed somewhere between the 80s’ metal bands, the 90s’ straightforward heavy rock and the diversity of the new millenium. Ripe’s music is dominated by great melodies, hardhitting heavy riffs, attentive vocal lines og lightning solos.

During summer of 2009 Ripe recorded a new album titled ”A Moment Of Forever” which is released 26 April 2010 on Mighty Music. Guest appearances on the album are Michael Denner (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond), Billy Cross and Dagfinn Joensen (Fate)
