The band's members are Aaron Akin as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Ryan Thompson as the bassist, Trevor Johanson as the band's second guitarist, and Ross Burnett on the drums. They have released one EP, Black Fast EP in 2011, and one independently released and produced album in 2013, called Starving Out The Light. They signed with eOne Music in 2014 and released their second studio album, Terms of Surrender, the following year.

Recommended Material:
The band plays a great and unique style of Progressive Thrash Metal with hints of Black Metal and Death Metal. As you can hear in a lot of their songs, the vocalist sounds a lot like Chuck Shuldiner (Played in the band Death, R.I.P. 2001) but with less power than the legendary vocalist. They also have the same riffs and melodies from the semi-popular Prog/Thrash band Vektor and they seem to have other influences from Skeletonwitch and Revocation. You should listen to the two albums they have made, mainly their most recent one, because it is step forward from their beginning album in every way IMO.
