In 2003, Hellgods released the single Melebur Jiwa followed by a cover of Sepultura's Troops of Doom for compilation album Sepultribe - A Tribute To Sepultura released by Insane Dreams Productions & Brisik Distro.

Long break and change of musical direction

Starting from 2003 to 2009, Hellgods was in hiatus due to several personal excuses from the members. Hendra Grinder and Ade Black Wizard quit the band during this period. The band was then reactivated in 2009 with new member drummer Hariz Da Grinder, turning Hellgods into a four members band for the first time after 14 years in five members formation.

A demo called The Blackened Rebirth was made in 2009. The demo marked a musical direction change where the band added elements of industrial metal to their music. This would not last longer as Reyza, a keyboard player, joined the band as a session player in the same year and they changed their style to symphonic black metal.

In 2010, Hellgods experienced another member change when co-founding guitarist Loex Blackstorm left the band. Two session members guitarists, Abah Desecrator and Igor Nazaroth were brought in for temporary replacement, while Reyza was officially appointed as permanent member. On December 2010, Hellgods was billed as opening act for Marduk concert in Jakarta.

In early 2011, a single called Dark Fortress was released. In the same year, a new guitarist Jini Putra or JP joined the band and later that year, they released single Awakening of the Mighty Infernal Gods. In 2012, after a year joining the band, Jini Putra quit the band and was replaced by YorGad Djevelen.

In 2014, Hellgods released a single called Darkness Reborn.
