editThe band started in 2002 with the older brothers, Drew and DJ Wibblesman, (at the time ages, 16 and 11). In 2008, their younger brothers Cole and Shane (ages 9 and 8) joined them, when the band officially formed. Tanner Ramsey was a part of the band in 2008 until 2010, when vocalist Chris Hull joined in November 2010.[8][9]
The band recorded their debut EP in 2012, which was mixed by Rocky Gray of Living Sacrifice.[6] In 2013, the band recorded their debut album, Slayers of Eden, which was produced by Josh Barber (Norma Jean, Hands, Your Memorial) and released through Rottweiler Records.[1][4] In 2014 they toured with Abated Mass of Flesh. Hull left the band later in October.[10] and was replaced by Luke Carlson. Carlson left the band in 2015, to get married.[11][non-primary source needed] The band left Rottweiler Records in early 2016.
