Quick Facts Background information, Origin ...

They have been categorized as post-rock, post-metal, doom metal, sludge metal and hard rock, but have moved toward a darker and heavier metal sound.[1] Rock-A-Rolla magazine's review of Nations to Flames states: "In upping the aggression, intensity and songwriting ability, they are once again overshadowing what's gone before and giving new reasons to appreciate a band that are already becoming one of the most crucial heavy acts around."[2]

As of May 2023, the group have not released new music or performed live since 2018. Their website includes the statement "Indefinite Hiatus or Peace Out? Who knows."
