===2000β2001: Klaha era=== Eventually, they recruited [[Klaha]] (vocalist of [[dark wave]] band Pride of Mind), officially inducted into the band as a full member in August 2000. By then the band had abandoned the lighter pop music sound of the Gackt era for a dramatic mixture of [[European classical music|classical music]], [[dark wave]], with slight [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] elements, and adopted an elaborate funerary elegant gothic look. In the summer of 2000, they released what would be their last album, ''[[Bara no Seidou]]'', which peaked at 17th place on the charts, selling only 22,000 copies.<ref name="MMSales"/> On August 31 and September 1, they gave a theatrical two-day live at the Nippon Budokan, featuring pyrotechnics, a choir of veiled nuns and a scaled-down cathedral as a stage prop. In 2001, Malice Mizer starred in a feature-length [[vampire]] movie (''Bara no Konrei (Mayonaka ni Kawashita Yakusoku)''), and released three more singles: "Gardenia", "Beast of Blood" and "Garnet ~Kindan no Sono e~"; "Gardenia" and "Garnet" being of a considerably lighter tone than their previous album, suggesting another new era for the band.<ref name="allmusic" /> However, the band members decided to go their own separate ways in 2001, leaving messages on their official website. The split was spoken of as a "hiatus",<ref name="allmusic" /> so as not to exclude the possibility of a future reformation.
