These three years were not so good for The Quest Quartet. 1998 was a very tough year (only one gig!). Ronny was in the army, and it wasn't easy to practise or play gigs.

Kenneth Straume joined the band in 1998. He played bass, and André started playing guitar. In march 1999 Ronny was replaced by Benjamin Helland on the drums. Finally it looked like we could start practising, recording and play some gigs again. The band had to start from scratch, because most of our songs were so old that we hated them by now!

During 1999 and 2000 we made new songs (more melodic and experimental), practised, played gigs and started recording some of our new songs in Tinitus Studio. In september 2000 we released the Highway of Love EP on vinyl.
