The band was formed in 2012 by singer Dennis Diehl, guitarists Andy Posdziech and Dennis ter Schmitten, bassist Michael Golinski and drummer Raphael Altmann who played in several bands before forming Any Given Day.

In October 2012 they recorded a three-track self-titled demo. All three songs were re-recorded on their debut album My Longest Way Home, which was released worldwide in September 2014 via Redfield Records. The album peaked on No. 28 in the German album charts and lasted there for one week.[1][2] To promote the album the band toured in four cities in Germany: Munich, Bochum, Stuttgart and Berlin.[3]

In January 2014, the band toured with Caliban for three shows and with Sonic Syndicate in September.[4]

In 2016, the band recorded a song entitled "Arise" with singer and guitarist Matt Heafy of Trivium.
