The band was formed by founding members Gianni Basile, Kyle McMahan and Mike Lalas, originally as a school project at In-Studio Audio Tech in Orland Park. During the recording process of Record 1, “Out of Darkness,” the band was guided through the process of making records. Their professors extensive experience in the field gave the band a solid support system while the band was in it’s infancy.

Upon release, the band was fortunate enough to play a few shows in early 2020 before the state of the country set back their plans. This resulted in the band shifting their focus to writing a second record. Upon completion of the songs, they went in search of a producer, which they found at 35th St. Studio’s in Chicago.

Post Pandemic

After a few lineup changes. The band began playing out again in late 2021. Due to personal circumstances, Their singer Gabriel Gallo was no longer able to perform with the band in a live setting, resulting in Gianni stepping to the front to take on vocal responsibilities. They performed this way for a string of time, until Brent Murphy needed to make his exit later in 2022. The band then recruited one time guitarist of Next to Eternity, Mike Spillman, to take on the rhythm guitar duties and Andy Weteska took up the bass playing position in mid 2022. With the new lineup formed, the band began releasing the process of releasing album 2. You can find their music below.
