History
Jamey Jasta and Kirk Windstein got to know in the early nineties with a Crowbar-/Down-Konzert. Jasta, who worked in the nineties as a booker in New England, dedicated Crowbar for a few concerts to also perform with his band Hatebreed there. In 2005, then came to a joint tour of Crowbar and Hatebreed, when the idea for a joint project was born. Shortly thereafter, in May 2005, saw the first shots and in April 2006 the first publication on the compilation MTV2 Headbangers Ball: The Revenge, was included on the Buried in Black. The self-titled debut album, Kingdom of Sorrow was produced by Chris Harris Zeuss at Planet Z Studios and was released on 19 February 2008 on Relapse Records. For the upcoming tour, guitarist Steve Gibb ( Crowbar, Black Label Society ), were bassist Matthew Brunson ( Crowbar ) and drummer Derek Kerswill ( Unearth, Seemless ) involved. On 8 June 2010 the latest album Behind the Blackest Tears appeared on Relapse Records. In the current cast members were Steve Gibb and Derek Kerswill by Charlie and Nick Bellmore - both members of the band Phantoms - replaced.
