History
editSymphony in Peril formed in Columbus, OH in early 2002.[4] The band gained attention quite early in their development because Shawn Jonas, former vocalist for popular metalcore band Zao, was one of the founding members.[4]
Quickly, they signed with Facedown Records, and released their debut full-length, Lost Memoirs and Faded Pictures, in 2003. The band toured nationally and internationally with bands such as Nodes of Ranvier and the Chariot and also performed at the Cornerstone and Sonshine festivals.
In March 2005, shortly after releasing their second album, The Whore's Trophy, the band announced that vocalist Shawn Jonas had left the band. In June of the same year, the band announced that John Pope, former singer for fellow Ohio band Narcissus, would be replacing Jonas.[6]
Later that year, in October, the band announced via their MySpace blog that the band would break up after a few final performances in November.[7]
In more recent years, Drummer/Bassist Collin Simula formed a new project titled Maranatha, which was the first band of any of the members from SIP.[8]
In October 2022 the band was active again with a lineup including Shawn and Andy Capps and released a new single.[9] On February 22, 2023, it was announced the band will play their first show in 18 years at the 2023 Furnace Fest preshow.[10] In 2022, the band formed under the lineup of returning members Shawn Jonas and Andy Capps, with new members Dan Pelletier on guitars, Chico Weeks on bass, and Michael DeSerio on drums.[11] However, by 2023, the lineup shifted with Weeks and DeSerio departing from the band, which Pelletier explained was due to the distance between band members.[12] In 2023, the band now featured Bryan Yost on bass and Josh King on drums.[13]
