Reunited to play at the Doom or Be Doomed festival in Baltimore, Maryland in April 2007.
Penance were booked to appear at the Days of the Doomed festival in 2013, and perform the entire "Parallel Corners" album, with Lee on vocals. However, Lee eventually couldn't make it, so Butch stepped in, and they played a varied set.
