The band members of Leviathan are the US Trademark owners of the name, despite others using the same title.[2] They released their only full-length record, "Internal Inferno", in 2004.[3]

Since their breakup, Shane Tierney has gone on to sing for Primer Black and the other members formed a new band named Guileface, each releasing one recording before Shane and Chris reunited in 2007, at first under the name "Tentacle", and then appearing opening for the Misfits, Agent Orange, and other shows as "Leviathan" once again.
