Robin, the band's second album, was released on February 21, 2007,[2] and in America on April 29, 2008.[3] The album was awarded 10th place in the Metal Storm ranking of the top death metal albums of 2007.[4]

In 2007, Farmakon started to work on material for a new album, tentatively entitled Syan. The band announced that the former drummer Riku Airisto had agreed to play the drums on the album, after the departure of Matti Auerkallio.[5]

In September 2010, the band announced on their message board that it had split up. Syan was never released.[5]
