Having enjoyed the company of German, Swiss and French audiences, Killing Floor returned to London to record their second album. Out Of Uranus, released on the Penny Farthing label, showed a departure from American blues to a rougher, harder, psychedelic-flavored blues-rock and spawned the single Call For The Politicians, which found heavy rotation on BBC Radio 1. The band also appeared on television, but the uncertainty of its future development led to its rapid disintegration. At first, Floor replaced the rhythm section with Rod de’Ath and Stan Dekker and brought Martin back into the lineup, but just as things were starting to improve, Thorndycraft left. For some time, the band worked with ex-frontman of Juicy Lucy Ray Owen, but personnel turnover increased, and, in the end, the project collapsed. The band's revival began in 2002, when representatives of Appaloosa Records asked Clarke if Killing Floor would like to record a new album. Mick responded enthusiastically, and the other originals supported him, and in January 2004 the studio album Zero Tolerance went on sale. The only one who could not be found immediately was Bazz Smith, but he still arrived by the end of the sessions and contributed to a couple of tracks. Despite the enthusiastic response to the comeback, Martin was unable to participate in the subsequent tour, but the remaining four did not limit themselves to concerts alone and in 2012 at the Sweden Rock Festival they presented tracks from their fourth album Rock'n'Roll Gone Mad
