Mongillo proposed the name ''' 'Blood on the Dance Floor' ''' in a studio session, which the group preferred and proceeded to use. Malaret, credited as the band's early electronic drummer and screamer, left the group in the beginning of 2008 to work on his own band, [https://musicbrainz.org/artist/d9f68847-64b7-4298-8c88-156d41dc231c|'''''Wysteria!'''''].

Dahvie and Jayy went on to re-record several Blood on the Dance Floor tracks previously released with Garrett's vocals, many of which became tracks for the new duo's debut album, ''''EPIC''''. Additionally, the duo had collaborated with [https://musicbrainz.org/artist/4aa960a9-368e-4288-bc63-ff5053dbdddc|''''Jeffree Star''''] to produce three tracks for the album, however Star and Dahvie had a falling out in the summer of 2010 and these tracks were re-recorded to remove Star's vocals for the album's final cut.

In September 2016, Jayy formally departed Blood on the Dance Floor, in the process coming forward about years of abuse and financial struggle at the hands of Dahvie, including one instance where Dahvie had forced Jayy to perform an entire tour while ill, disallowing him to cancel to seek critical medical attention for his HIV.
