[9] Later that year, Spirit Adrift signed with Century Media Records|Century Media and released their most recent album Enlightened in Eternity, which peaked at #79 on the Billboard charts.[10] [11] Nate relocated to Texas in March 2020, and in October of the same year was featured on the cover of both The Austin Chronicle and Decibel (magazine)|Decibel Magazine.
