Originally formed in the winter of 2003 by Keith Holuk and Ryan Ober, Ligeia solidified their lineup with the additions of Brandon Whipple and Patrick Murphy in 2007.
Their debut album, Your Ghost Is a Gift, was recorded in December 2004 by Ken Susi of Unearth and released in late March 2006 on Ferret Music.
Ligeia has maintained a DIY work ethic since their inception and because of their "take no prisoners" attitude, have played over 600 shows in the last two years, including a highly successful run on the "Two Dollar Brawler" tour in 2007.
They have toured with such bands as The Acacia Strain, Misery Signals, Haste The Day, Remembering Never, August Burns Red, in addition to countless others.
Ligeia's comeback show took place in Moosup, Connecticut on February 1, 2011, just days before they head back to Canada for their "Fear of Freezing" Headlining Tour with the Canadian bands A Sight For Sewn Eyes and Right Before the Rise.
