The band consisted of Jesse Blaze Snider, Danny Wacker, Dan Carlisle, and Benjamin Clapp.
The newly named group completed their first studio recording; from which four songs were self-released in 2007 as the Juggernaut EP.
As an avid fan of comic books, lyricist Jesse Blaze Snider often alludes to the colossal strength of superheroes and characters of fantasy by relating their immortality to real life scenarios.
Before cementing the final line-up that would become Baptized By Fire, Jesse had spent many years auditioning and dismissing countless musicians.
Further disaster shook up the beginnings of the band on August 12, 2003 when the-then drummer, Kris Dalene, was killed in an automobile accident.
