The summer of that year saw the band in seclusion to work on a cohesive home record in their 8-track home studio. However, Mayumi left the band in August of that year to focus more on keeping up with her education. Patrick graduated from Wallenberg High in June, and began attending a community college near his house. Unfortunately, Patrick was suffering from Asian American identity crisis and was indicted to a near-by hospital for a nervous breakdown. The band began working on a demo together, but the band was now torn into different directions. The band recruited Patrick and Eddie's friend Shawn Blacharski on bass, but Patrick hired two additional musicians that were just gothic Asian girls he met from a J-Rock/anime club whom had no prior musical experience. On October 23, 2004, the Samurai Sorcerers done a recording session at Eddie's garage in which the band would release as an album. The group rushed an anime soundtrack "Psychotic Love" (2005) as their first demo. "Love" was a hybrid techno/rock album, based with a primarily huge Asian pop culture infuluence. It somehow became a classic, except Eddie played only on a few tracks on the album. A live tour followed to promote the album, but it was however an uneven affair as it lasted only three shows with Eddie and Shawn leaving the band after the second performance to focus on their main band Tripwire. Patrick Lew however, was the only remaining original member left in the Samurai Sorcerers. In February 2005, the band performed their last live show at Balboa High. The remaining two members who were hired by Patrick, Mony Ngin and Janet Wang left the group. And on March 7, 2005, the Samurai Sorcerers officially disbanded to join other projects. Patrick Lew later became the sole owner of the banner "Samurai Sorcerers" and the band ultimately became a Patrick Lew solo project.

Patrick earned exclusive rights to the band Samurai Sorcerers, and began trying to reassemble the band.

After the "Psychotic Love" tour ended abruptly and was cancelled after three dismal live performances and dwindling cast of musicians in the ill-fated J-Rock/grunge project, Patrick then bought the rights to the band's banner "Samurai Sorcerers" and his published musical work after the band disbanded in February 2005. Patrick after the band's disbandingPatrick Lew was the last Samurai standing in his own rock & roll band, and decided to make Samurai Sorcerers a one-man band (along with a few session musicians to contribute). Patrick remained out of the local music scene limelight, doing nothing but downloading computer music software off the internet on his PC and tinkering in his digital home studio in his bedroom. Fans were awaiting new music from Patrick, but they weren't just awaiting new music from the Silent Minister. They wanted another "Silent Minister experience." He decided to work on a scaled-down version of the "Psychotic Love" album, and maybe put out a new album of avant-garde electronic music. He finally broke his silence by issuing the first of NEW Samurai Sorcerers original recordings, the shambolic loops and beats sample called "Battle Royale" in March on his official website. It wasn't well-received by critics, and was panned by the press. Although he was the only full-fledged member left in the Samurai, he was given creative and personal control over the music and direction
