History

edit

The band formed on October 10, 2010, by Jesse McKinney, most commonly known as Kristian. Kristian hired on Zack Plunkett as the band's vocalist. Plunkett departed and formed his own project, Abated Mass of Flesh in 2011. Kristian hired vocalist Richard Aguirre to join the fold the same year. The band was featured on a compilation, early on, titled The Killing Fields, which was released by Warclub Records.[2] The project began working on a double album, titled Metal Unblack.[3] The double side of the album, was a tribute to Horde, the first unblack metal band.[3] The album released in 2013, receiving great reviews.[4][5] Aguirre departed from the band in 2015, leaving the band without a vocalist until 2017. Kristian would then hire on Segør Erskine of the band Blood Covenant.[1] The band released a new track titled "I Am Who I Am" with Erskine on vocals.[1] The two are currently working on a new album.[1]
