In 2008, they released their second album, The Dividing Line, again on Earache Records. This also came with a free Sk8+Destroy 7" record, featuring British comedian Frank Sidebottom.

In June 2011, they released their third album, Problems to the Answer, on Earache Records. Upping the track count to 25 with Mark "Barney" Greenway from Napalm Death on guest vocals. Original founding members David Fergusson and guitarist Peter Broom decided to leave the band at this point. July 2011, a line-up change occurred when Stu and El Longo joined.

In November 2013 the band signed with Prosthetic Records, and released the Manipulated Living EP. SSS fourth album entitled LIMP.GASP.COLLAPSE. was released November 2014 on Prosthetic records and festures Jeff Walker from Carcass on guest vocals.
