After a number of regional tours and increasing popularity in the online djent community, the band was signed up by Tragic Hero Records in February 2014.
The EP was heavily featured on many online blogs such as ItDjents, Chugcore, got-djent, The Daily Mosh, The Djentlemen's Club and more.
They released a couple of singles in 2013; "Wolf Skin" and "Half Life" the latter of which would eventually make its way onto the new album, albeit in a slightly reworked form and different tuning.
[1] A mini-EP would be released through the label's website which featured two new songs titled "Courier" and "Native Intellect" that would be on the upcoming album.
On July 29, the band posted through their official Facebook page the confirmed tracklist for Everchanger as well as its release date August 26, 2014.
[8] In late 2015, the band decided to move forward without founding member Logan Forrest, with drummer Trey Celaya subsequently taking on guitar duties (though only for studio sessions) for future albums.
[15] On September 10, 2021, Invent Animate announced they had left Tragic Hero Records and has signed with independent Australian label, UNFD.
Drummer Trey Celaya spoke about the concept of the EP and video: "Despite all attempts to keep our darker reality shadowed in secrecy, there comes a moment in time when the truth can no longer be hidden behind closed doors or empty excuses.
The flow of time does not wash away the scars; it only immortalizes what is suspended in the balance — the pain of loss, the gift of hindsight, and the curse of hope.
[17] It was also clarified that while Trey will continue to be a part of the songwriting and recording process for Invent Animate, he will no longer be touring with them regularly.
[18] In early February 2022, it was announced that the band has been working on recording their next album and follow-up to Greyview for a tentative spring 2022 release.
[19][20] On June 30, 2022, Invent Animate released the single "Shade Astray", prior to any official album announcement and just ahead of providing support as one of the opening acts on Erra's "Pull from the Ghost" Tour along with Australian metal bands, Alpha Wolf and Thornhill during Summer 2022.
[21][22] During this time, Brody Taylor Smith, the drummer of Atlanta progressive, post-hardcore band, Satyr would be recruited as a live fill-in in lieu of Celaya's absence.
The band delivers vocals in a wide range, including mid-pitch screams, low death growls, and somber clean singing.
