History

Following Aidan Holmes' departure from Alpha Wolf, he met with former Northlane member Alex Milovic, Capture drummer Joe Abikhair, and Codeine King & Iconoclast members David Wilder and Josh Ang to form a new supergroup. On April 5, 2019, they released their debut EP, Soul Burn.[2] Soul Burn was received well, and helped bring lots of attention to the new band.[3]

On July 22, 2019, Wilder, Ang, and Milovic left the band, and were replaced by former Capture bassist, Maurice Morfaw and The Gloom in the Corner guitarist, Martin Wood.[4] On February 14, 2020, the band released their second EP, Saint.[5]

On June 22, 2020, three of the band's four members left over allegations against Aidan, effectively ending the band.[6][7]
