Eradikated (2021–2023) In February 2021 the band signed a management deal with Martin Gustafsson. Martin claimed that the band was already then set on changing their name, but it wasn't before on 19 September that the band officially changed their name to Eradikated.
On 19 November 2021 Eradikated released their first EP under the new name. The EP contained newly recorded versions of former songs and was recorded in Easthill Audio.

Generations was released on 6 October 2023 on the label Indie Recordings. The album was nominated for the Grammis hard rock/metal album of the year award the same year.
Eradikated appeared on The Rising Four, a tour together with Eternal Evil, Sarcator and Bloodstain from October to December 2024.
Wiring of Violence (2026-) Eradikated began work on their second studio album, Wiring of Violence, following the release of their debut album Descendants in 2023. The album was released on 8 May 2026 through Indie Recordings. It contains eleven tracks and has a total running time of approximately 32 minutes. The album was recorded by Top Floor Studios and East Hill Audio, with production and recording handled by Ragnar Östberg and Jakob Herrmann among others.
Three singles were released ahead of the album. "British Petroleum" was released on 19 February 2026 as the first single and was accompanied by an official music video. "Precipice" followed on 20 March, while "Mortality" was released on 14 April, as the third single.
The album's lyrics address social and political subjects. Contemporary reviews identified themes including environmental concerns, war, social inequality and personal struggles. "British Petroleum", for example, was described as addressing the relationship between fossil-fuel interests, military conflict and economic power, while "Precipice" deals with the consequences of war.
Musically, Wiring of Violence has been described as thrash metal incorporating both old-school and modern elements. Reviews noted influences associated with the Bay Area thrash metal scene, while also identifying elements of crossover thrash and groove-oriented metal.
The album received generally positive reviews from metal publications. ''Dead Rhetoric'' gave the album a rating of 8.5/10, praising its combination of old-school and modern thrash influences, while ''Metal Archives'' listed a 78% review score. Other reviews similarly highlighted the album's speed, aggressive riffing and production, although some critics considered its songwriting relatively conservative and suggested that the band could develop a more distinctive sound on subsequent releases.
The album release is followed by a tour with Havok, Blood Red Throne and Xonor which started on 10 September 2026.
