The band played its first show at Lisa's Oak Street Lounge on August 19, 2006, with Pusher, Lords, and Blade of the Ripper.
During the 2005 Slint reunion tour, Pajo, Cook and McMahan decided that they wanted to play a more aggressive style of music akin to early Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and other metal bands that they admired as young fans.
They also performed their song "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" for the Burn to Shine DVD series.
The band's debut album Attack[2] was released on April 8, 2008, on Quarterstick Records and was produced by Brad Wood.
The video was shot in April 2008 in a warehouse in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, that the band sometimes used as a rehearsal space and was produced and directed by Douglas Dillingham.
