DYM continues to play live, and the band is well received by Hamilton and Toronto audiences. DYM also finds critical recognition in the same year: after a mere 3 shows, Alex Veronac of (internationally distributed) Release Magazine names DYM one of “the best electro-industrial newcomers of 2003”. 2004: DYM meets 2004 with a series of live performances, headlining shows in St. Catharines and Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, while also continuing to play to their growing Torontonian fan-base. In the following year, DYM takes a break from live appearances, choosing instead to focus on writing and studio work. Also in 2005: DYM relocates to Toronto. 2006: DYM returns to find that all of their diligent work is about to pay off.

With inspiration from rhythm and noise of acts such as Venetian Snaresand Enduser, The Invilid is set to feature an enigmatic design of aggressive EBM synths, interfused with an influence of breakcorepercussion and 'glitching'.
