Zao (1993-Present): 24 Years, Jesse Smith (1993-2004): 12 Years, Daniel Weyandt (1998-Present): 19 Years, Scott Mellinger (1999-Present): 18 Years, Russ Cogdell (1998-2000, 2002, 2004-2008, 2010-Present): 16 Years. I think with the overlap of Smith to Weyandt, Mellinger, and Cogdell - and with the latter three [current members] having been in the band for 79%, 75%, and 66% of the band’s existence respectively - gives them absolutely no reason to change the name. Especially when you consider that Smith and Mellinger have been the main music-writers (when the music isn’t credited to Zao), and since joining the band, Weyandt has been credited for the lyrics on almost every single song (outside of “Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest”, where the lyrics are credited to Zao, and “Awake?”, which I don’t own and therefore couldn’t check the liner notes, I found 3 tracks not credited to Weyandt), most of them, by himself.

Dan and Russ have been in the band almost since it's inception. There is no reason to change the name of the band.

I don't understand why a different sounding recording warrants a name change? If they still have the same name after having no original members, than I don't think that recording to tape instead of to a hard drive means they should change it.
