Background

The band started in 2007 in Columbia, South Carolina, with the lineup of Missi Avila(Vocals) and Coca (guitars), Chase Crouch (guitars) and Daniel Todd (drums). The band signed to Red Cord Records, home to bands such as Phinehas, A Past Unknown, and fellow South Carolina band Bloodline Severed in 2011. The lineup at that time was Missi, Coca, Crouch, Todd, and bassist Joshua Crawley.[7]

The band released their sophomore album, Suscitatio Somnus in 2011, and third album, The American Dream in 2013. In 2015, the band announced new singer, Simone "Som" Pluijmers on dual lead vocals alongside Missi.[8] In May 2016, the band announced new Guitarist Ron Dalton.[9] After Dalton joined the band, they signed to Dave Ellefson's EMP Label Group.[10][11][12][13] In 2017, the band released their debut EMP release, Ex-Nihilo.[10][14]

On October 20, 2018, the band posted a picture of the band's lineup, with Pluijmers no longer in the lineup, which was later confirmed by drummer Thomas White, stating that Pluijmers was "just not interested in doing music anymore".
