Biography

The story that is My Epic has been in the works for several years. The whole process started in 1998 when Aaron, Jesse, and Matt first started playing together in what quickly became their first band, The Right Wing Conspiracy, later known as Shaddai. Through their experiences together, the five boys in Shaddai grew as musicians and as a band, and by the summer of 2004, after playing shows ranging from their home town of Fredericksburg, VA to Cornerstone Festival in Illinois and earning a reputation for their energy as well as their technical ability and songwriting prowess, Shaddai was on the brink of taking over the world. Jesse was about to join the rest of the band in the college world, and with the whole band living close together, good things looked to be just ahead. The momentum of the band was brought to a halt in the later part of the summer with the departure of Jono, and the remaining members of Shaddai were faced with the decision of whether to press on, reform, restart, or retire. They knew that it was time to put Shaddai in the past. They threw the ashes of Shaddai to the wind and looked back on the era with a grin. Within a short amount of time, after very little discussion, Aaron, Jesse, and Matt realized the obvious: they had to keep playing together, but something new was in the air. What began as a dilemma actually became a blessing as the three of them found themselves with a chance to refine their focus and take their music in a more adventurous direction. Jono stuck around as the band’s closest friend and applied his savvy of all things business to the task of managing the band.

    Wow, all this time I've been thinking for some reason these guys were a crappy Christian metalcore band. Glad to have been proved totally wrong.

    I love seeing people complain about these guys being religious. Who cares? I don't listen to non-religious music and think "if only this was religious." It's the way they chose to do their music and the way they chose to craft their art.

    Usually I don't care much about the lyrics to songs. But I love the words these guys write. I think Lower Still (with Beloved in close second place) have my favorite lyrics of any songs I've ever heard.

    Any other atheists love these guys regardless of their lyrics/beliefs? Magical song-writing.

    Excellent "rainy-day" music. :) Or any-day music, but this kind of music just sounds so great on rainy or cloudy days in particular.

    Such great music! Especially the album "Broken Voice". Would be so nice to see them live in Germany...

    I honestly think that Alone is the most beautiful song I've heard. Both musically and lyrically. Just amazing

    I really like how I can listen to Christian bands that sound so distinct from one another. My Epic is one of those bands that's divergent from others in my music library.

    As an atheist who enjoys these guys music a lot.. I like to think of the lyrics as talking about a girl or another person instead of 'God'. Not that their religious views take away from the music at all, I just can't connect to it on that level. Great musicians regardless. [2]

    I was pleasently surprised when I started listening to Yet. I'm also not a Christian but the music is so solid!

    This sounds really nice. Why did they have to go and be a lame christian band. I suppose I can ignore the lyrics.
