Biography
The band hails from Sacramento and was formed by Samuel Mcleod, Shaun Gier, Jeff Morgan, and Jacob Peete, but didn't acquire a permanent bassist until 2003 with Michael Nordeen. Jeff Morgan later left the band and was replaced by Andrew Burt. Keyboardist Brandon Guadagnolo joined the band later on, and with this line-up the band released an EP,
In the Midst Of Bloodied Soil
.
Jacob Pete, Andy Burt, Sam Mcleod and Brandon Guadagnolo left the band in the summer of 2005, and drummer Greg Donnelly and guitarist John Abernathy, both from
Conducting from the Grave, joined in 2006. At this moment, the line-up consisted of no fewer than four former Conducting from the Grave members, the only exception being bassist Michael Nordeen. Later that year, vocalist Shaun Gier left the band and was replaced by Fidel Campos, just in time for the recording of their debut album.
The band released their debut album,
In the Midst Of Bloodied Soil
, in 2005, with the same title as their EP, through
Earache Records--the songs are the same as on the EP, with two additional tracks. The album consisted of technical metalcore with melodic death metal influences.
The band's second album was released in early 2007 on Earache, but broke up soon thereafter. Reportedly, Conducting from the Grave has reformed.
