History
The band was formed by Justin Longshore in 2003 after the break-up of a previous group, Tellherisaidgoodbye Their first full-length album was released in 2005 through Prosthetic Records . Shortly before, every member except for Longshore and Gunnels left, with Gunnels also being let go a few months later due to personal reasons. They then added new members which would be known as the 'malice' lineup however, they would also part ways with the band before the 3rd studio album would be released, leaving behind only Jake Ososkie (bass) and Justin Longshore (guitar)remaining. After taking some offtime they regrouped yet again and released their 3rd album 'Skepsis'. The band believes their current lineup is the strongest and that Skepsis represents a mix of everything the band has done and more. The band's influences include Morbid Angel , Blood Has Been Shed , Suffocation (band)|Suffocation , Cannibal Corpse (as suggested by the band's name, possibly taken from the Cannibal Corpse song "Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead "), Meshuggah , Behemoth (band)|Behemoth , and At the Gates .
The band has released three records with Prosthetic Records: Bloodlust (album)|Bloodlust in 2005, Malice (Through the Eyes of the Dead album)|Malice in 2007, and Skepsis (album)|Skepsis in 2010.
Shortly before the US release of Malice , the band shot a music video with acclaimed director David Brodsky at the abandoned mental facility in Kings Park, Long Island, NY.
