In 2010, after the split of PKS, Evan Nave decided that Lestat had never really gotten to a level that he had always wanted to see it rise to.
Timothy and Evan had discussed reunion shows before, but Evan was ready for something much more daring and bold.
After meeting with each member of the band, the decision was made to not only perform a reunion show, but to write a new release and continue on where the band had left off.
Susan and Timothy quickly rejoined Lestat, but Jess politely refused, not wanting to perform musically any longer.
He was, however, instrumental in assisting Lestat with the re-release of their original material as downloads for the new digital world.
Evan worked with their original engineer and Jess, as well as the company who originally pressed their first releases to re-master and re-release all of their original songs, including the remixes and Fate from their compilation CD.

In an even bolder move, Lestat brought in two new musicians to bring their sound into the new era.
War, former bassist for Evan’s band PKS and Scott, former drummer for the band Disown, were invited to join.
They brought with them a new organic take to Lestat’s previously electronic heavy sound.
For a full year, the band worked to mesh their unique sounds by reworking Lestat’s original material.
When they felt ready, they wrote their first new material in over a decade, and performed a reunion show in August 2010 in their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.

For the year that followed, Lestat began taking advantage of social media, all but non-existent during their first tenure, creating pages on Facebook, MySpace and their own Lestatmusic.com.
They began to get the word out of their return, and started touring the country, visiting cities that they had never gotten to perform in such as Miami and Detroit.
In 2011, Lestat had their first visit to California, playing San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles and the Shadowdance festival in Oakland.

While touring, Lestat began feverishly writing material for their first full-length CD since 1994.
The decision was made to re-recreate Red Light using the new band members as a tribute to how far they had come.
They also had the pleasure of working closely with Adrian Smith of the classic industrial band Click Click.
Adrian gave them his blessing to cover their song Awake and Watching, and remixed the song Midnight Toll for them for their release.

In April 2012, Lestat released Arisen, now signed to Columbus-based label Nilaihah Records.
 They performed at the Age of Decay festival in Jacksonville, Florida as well as New York City once more.
Lestat also performed at the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club Coven’s Ball in New Orleans, LA on October 26 of 2012.

In January 2013, Timothy left the band for personal and musical aspirations, leaving the band as a four-piece.

The band announced they would be disbanding once more in their official Facebook page on October 2, 2014.
