Haste the Day is an American metalcore band formed in Carmel, Indiana in 2001 and signed to Solid State Records.

The band released an EP titled That They May Know You, in 2002, followed by five studio albums: Burning Bridges (2004), When Everything Falls (2005), Pressure the Hinges (2007), Dreamer (2008), and Attack of the Wolf King (2010).

The remaining members continued on for the European tour with The Juliana Theory, accompanied by Stephen Keech of Denver-based Christian metal band New Day Awakening.

Haste the Day finished off 2007 with a full national tour with As I Lay Dying before taking some time off for Christmas.

On July 17, 2008, the band announced that guitarist Jason Barnes was asked to step down from Haste the Day because he is no longer of the Christian faith.

The album, being the first to not feature Barnes, saw a lead guitar performance by former Scarlet and Spitfire guitarist Randy Vanderbilt.

Chaulk explained in an interview that his decision weighed on him to leave to focus on his new marriage at the time and to avoid holding the band back.
