The name in Norwegian is a reference to the [resurrection of Jesus](/source/resurrection_of_Jesus).[http://www.crossover-agm.de/intVaakevandring01.htm Vaakevandring] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303220248/http://www.crossover-agm.de/intVaakevandring01.htm|date=2016-03-03}}, (German) CrossOver.

Lothlorien's style became heavier and soon changed its name to Inertia. Trond left bass and began to perform death growl vocals and the second guitar player started playing bass. Lothlorien had some internal problems because of religion. The second guitar player (then new bass player) wanted to write about darker subjects, and eventually left the band. Around the same time Pål and Ronny Hansen invited Magerøy to join them in their project "Signum Crusis". They rehearsed once and then Alexander Nygård became their guitarist. They changed the band name to "Korsferd". Morten played guitar, Ronny played bass and Pål Dæhlen played drums. Hansen concentrated on vocals and Trond became the bass player. By that time the band name was changed to Vaakevandring. The band achieved notable popularity for its ''[Demo 98/99](/source/Demo_98%2F99)''. It was produced and engineered by [Stian Aarstad](/source/Stian_Aarstad), the keyboard player of [Dimmu Borgir](/source/Dimmu_Borgir).{{Harvnb|Sharpe-Young|2001|loc="Vaakevandring", p. 367.
