A long long time ago, in the year 2005, two friends (Johnny Emburgh and Justin Horton) decided to start a band. They approached a mutual friend (Tim Coverdale)who became the singer and he introduced them to who would become their drummer (Ryan Swartz). They played their first show at a highschool and right then and there they knew they had something special. Once they wrote enough material they went and recorded their first E.P entitled "When It Ends". After that they played all over the southern ontario area and broke out into the Windsor and Oshawa scene.
In late 2006 (Adam aka. Goobz Ex Becoming Dust) joined the band as a second guitarist. This took the bands sound to a higher level. With the extra member they continued to play whenever and wherever they could.
Mid 2007, due to personal reasons both Ryan and Tim decided to depart from the band. Never the less, Justin, Goobz, and Johnny wanted to keep the band going, so they approached Ex Becoming Dust members (Cory Mallory-Guitar ) and (Ben Graves-Drums), with Goobz on vocals now the line up was complete once again. With almost a completely new line up, the influence had taken a bit of a turn and the writing process had taken full effect. Later that year the band went into the studio and recorded their full length album "Relentless". Before the release of the cd (Ben) had decided to focus on his schooling and his career so we wished him well and parted ways. In December they asked (Gordy Barrett) to join the band and the first show they played with him was at the Opera House in Toronto Ontario in January of 2008.
May of 08, tradegy struck the band when new drummer (Gordy) got into a horrific, life altering car accident. He was told that he would never drum again with the injuries he sustained. The strong will power and determination of not only (Gordy) but the rest of the band and his friends and family, he was able to pull through and later that year sat behind the kit once again to hit the skins. November came and (Johnny) decided to leave the band due to personal reasons and to focus on his life goals. Goobz decided to play the bass for the band and they needed to bring in a new vocalist. With much searching they decided to go with their buddy (Nick Pascuzzi), the line up was complete again.
February of 2009 was the first show with the new line up. They played shows throughout the year and started to write a new batch of songs for what will become the new E.P. "Moment of Clarity". Fast forward to 2010.
The Band is almost done tracking for "Moment of Clarity" and two songs ("Poison Eyes" and "A Night of Agony") will be available March 14th. "Moment of Clarity" will be available in the spring of 2010
