However, after years of euphoria, the band split up. Pawel and Jaroslaw looked for the happiness creating new bands. Four years later, their roads meet up again. The band recorded new album "Wszyscy Zaczynamy od Zera". Just after its publication Michal deserted the band. In 2002 another member left Hetman - Kiljan returned to the lineup and replaced Robert.

Recording of "Skazaniec" was a great success for Hetman. On the other hand just after publishing the album, Hetman split up again.
