On June 16, 2015, Vattnet Viskar released their sophomore album titled ''Settler'' which was largely inspired by the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster and Christa McAuliffe in particular. Guitarist Chris Alfieri stated in a June 17, 2015, interview with Decibel Magazine that, "Christa was from Concord, New Hampshire, the town that I live in. One of my first memories is the Challenger mission's demise, so it's a personal thing for me. But the album isn't about the explosion, it's about everything else. Pushing to become something else, something better. A transformation, and touching the divine." The group released a third LP "Vattnet" on September 15, 2017. On February 22, 2018, Chris Alfieri announced the band had broken up.
