In June 2012, Shadowkeep announced on their official Facebook page that original singer Rogue Marechal was to rejoin the band, and that work was to begin on the fourth Shadowkeep album.
On 16 July 2012, vocalist Matt Oakman officially departed Shadowkeep; he went on to join the bands Dangerous Breed, Gridlock and Stormborn (with whom he was a bandmember until 30 August 2019).
In February 2013, it was announced that Omar Hayes was no longer in Shadowkeep's line-up, due to his unavailability for upcoming festival dates. Taking his place for consecutive gigs at the Chameleon Music Bar in [Grantham](/source/Grantham) on 16 March 2013 (with The More I See and [NWOBHM](/source/new_wave_of_British_heavy_metal) band Overdrive) and at the Wizzfest 2013 festival in [Aalter](/source/Aalter), [Belgium](/source/Belgium) on 23 March 2013 was former bandmember Scott Higham, although this proved to be a temporary arrangement. Bassist Jack Kirby and keyboard player Tim Hall (from Overdrive) also guested with the band at their [Grantham](/source/Grantham) gig.
Shadowkeep performed at the Q's Entertainment venue in [Redhill, Surrey](/source/Redhill%2C_Surrey) on 7 September 2013, at the Little Devil venue in [Tilburg](/source/Tilburg) on 13 September 2013 with [Blitzkrieg](/source/Blitzkrieg_(metal_band)), and at the Swordbrothers XII festival in [Andernach](/source/Andernach) on 14 September 2013 with [Morgana Lefay](/source/Morgana_Lefay) and [Rebellion](/source/Rebellion_(band)).[[http://www.ffm-rock.de/reviews-interviews/live-reviews/14488-swordbrothers-festival-xii-andernach-juz-live-club Review of Swordbrothers XII festival] on German website www.ffm-rock.de, 14 September 2013] Tim Churchman joined them on drums for this series of gigs. During 2014, Omar Hayes rejoined the band for recording sessions.
As of early 2014, the band were reportedly composing their fourth studio album, which was initially set to be recorded at Karl Groom's Thin Ice Studios during 2014 and 2015, with its release provisionally scheduled for 2016 or 2017. A live show (recorded in Belgium on 23 March 2013) was also being prepared simultaneously for a potential release on [DVD](/source/DVD), but this particular project did not come to fruition.
In late 2015, Rogue Marechal left the band before the completion of the fourth album, prompting a search for a new lead singer.
Bass guitarist Steve 'SK' Kightley temporarily rejoined Shadowkeep in the studio during 2016, with Stony Grantham continuing to be involved in writing and recording with the band. In 2016, Grantham also joined the long-running Texas-based band Byfist, with whom he recorded the album ''In The End'', which was released on [Pure Steel Records](/source/Pure_Steel_Records) in September 2020.[[https://www.metalexpressradio.com/2020/10/03/byfist-in-the-end ''Byfist – In The End''] – Album review on Metal Express Radio website, 3 October 2020]
