Early that year, Douglas Robinson (former lead vocalist of the Sleeping) was attending a local charity show that was being put on by a close friend.

Nick, Reilly and Aric had been writing and performing together 10 years prior under different band names, this just happened to be their most recent instrumental endeavor following the departure of former singer Marco Lira.

After a single practice session the same night, the band knew the addition felt right and began working with Robinson on demos which would soon result in the material used on the Out of the Sky EP.

[23] It was released across two separate volumes, with the first seven tracks (as "Every Sound Has a Color in the Valley of Night: Part 1") out September 15 on Equal Vision Records.

However, their more-aggressive passages and emotionally-driven vocals often create similar moments to those found within the alternative metal, post-hardcore, and metalcore genres.

[26][27] In multiple interviews the band has referenced Tool, Isis, Fiona Apple, At the Drive-In, Opeth, Björk, Deftones, DJ Shadow, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, various trip hop Artists, and the film Beyond the Black Rainbow as influences that have had a heavy impact on their sound.

The drummers involved (aside from Aric) were: Billy Rymer (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Anup Sastry (formerly of Intervals and Monuments), Mike Ieradi (Protest the Hero), Alex Bent (Trivium/ Ex-Battlecross), Garrett Henritz (formerly of Fol Chen and HRVRD), Loniel Robinson (Letlive), Joseph Arrington (A Lot Like Birds), Mathew Lynch (Foregin Air/Trioscapes).

[35] Aric Improta was also a member of the Fever 333, a politically charged rock band featuring Jason Aalon Butler formerly of Letlive and Stephen Harrison formerly of the Chariot.

Reilly Herrera is co-owner, designer and creator of Learn to Forget clothing and has performed live on bass with both Letlive and HRVRD.

He also is the graphic designer for Night Verses, and for other artists such as Machine Gun Kelly, Weezer, Deftones, Lil Durk, The Smashing Pumpkins, Elvis and others.

DePirro is also part of a metalcore supergroup headcave, which features Nick Giumenti (My Ticket Home) and Tanner Wayne (In Flames) on vocals and drums, respectively.
