Then in 2001, the group went on tour<ref>{{fr}}httpCite web|url=https://www.lastfmlast.fm/fr/event/56583+No+Return+at+Fuzz'Yon%27Yon+on+606+April+2001|title=No Return à Fuzz'Yon (La Roche-sur-Yon) le 6 Avr 2001|website=Last.fm|accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref> with No Return and Crest of Darkness with Tariq Zulficar playing drums and Antoine Rognon, bass guitar and Nikos Kevorkian as second guitar. That same year, the title “Voyager” was on free download on the band’sband's website as a thank-you present to fans for their support and Symbyosis came 7th best album and 4th best new group in the Hardandheavy (French metal magazine) readers’ referendum.

Symbyosis fate changed in September 2001 as [[Listenable]] Records did not renew its contract with the group. So in January 2002, Symbyosis launched a new demo still with Tariq, Antoine and Nikos, “Life is a phoenix” in order to find a new label to sign with. But to no end, so that the band decided to produce and release its next album on its own. As technical and human problems piled up on those linked with the production of the album, the band’sband's finances plummeted. Symbyosis was then in a very difficult situation but driven by the support of their families and friends and of some media, the group managed to pull through selling the album on subscription to fans worldwide. This subscription enabled the band to close the necessary budget to the making of the album.

About five years after Crisis the new Symbiosis studio album was released, being in the end distributed by Listenable Records / Pias.<ref>{{fr}}Cite web|url=http://www.metal-impact.com/index.php?id=242&name=Interviews&req=showcontent|title=SYMBYOSIS (FRA) - Corrosive Bob (Avril-2006) :: METAL IMPACT :: L ultime Webzine orienté Metal qui se renouvelle au quotidien|website=Metal-impact.com|accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref>. “On the wings of Phoenix” was recorded both in Adima Studio (Paris) and Hidden Association Studios (St Cloud - France) and was out onin December 2005. It is a double-album with 24 titles which show the band’sband's musical diversity; this was also the opportunity for the band to make references to some of theirs inspirations such as [[Slayer]], [[Iron Maiden]] or even pay strong tribute to [[Napalm Death]].
