Biography

1) One cold winter day, back in 2006, I was chillin’ at the Chimaira practice space, when a good friend, singer TJ Frost, stopped by to say hey. He had a young drummer with him… a guy named Austin D’Amond from the band Bleed The Sky. After a brief introduction and some catching up, I asked Austin to hop up on the kit to show me what he was made of. I grabbed a guitar, cranked up my amp, and we went to work. The magic and spark between us was immediately apparent, and at that very moment, I knew that we had to create music together. TJ and I had shared the same feelings for quite some time before that day…He being a fan of my guitar work in Chimaira, and me being a fan of his vocal and lyrical style in his former Buffalo based bands, Baphomet, Five Years Gone, and Stemm. We knew that we’d do a project together one day, but never thought it could happen this soon. All it took was a carefree, happy-go-lucky, tasmanian devil from Southern California named Austin D’Amond, to step into the room, and ignite the fire. Austin later told me that he knew this “unexpected” and “informal” audition was his chance to shine, and he knew that he had to let it all hang out. And let me tell you…that’s exactly what he did. Unable to forge our sound in a typical band fashion, due to three band members living in three different states, we were forced to diversify our schedule. Writing, arranging, recording, and mixing were all completed over a two year period of multiple three-to-five day stints.
