History

Founded in 2005, the band released a demo and three EPs in the following years. They attracted particular attention with their 2010 EP Deviant Grace. The band then recorded their debut album Lifebound, completing the recordings in 2011. In 2012, the band signed a contract with Spinefarm Records and released Lifebound in the same year.

Musical style

compared the sound of the band's early albums to Lamb of God.
