Minneapolis dwellers Cole Benson, Chad Padelford and Tim Leick first got together in 2013 playing instrumental post rock. It wasn’t long after that the three’s influences of Eyehategod and the Melvins, Boris and Tool & Evoken and Mournful Congratulation began to manifest naturally through their music creating a more sonically cathartic endeavor.
By Fall of 2016, the band began work on their debut album, Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes. The political climate of that time, combined with various struggles each member had, helped create and extremely dark, extremely moody and heavy and angry sounding album. Bassist, Chad Padelford remarks, “while each of us dealt with personal strife and success we found solace coming together to spill out what we had bottled up.”
