Instead, an announcement was made that the band actually was going on a short hiatus after their performance at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival due to vocalist, Adam Warren, becoming a father.
[15] On February 19, 2024 the band announced a 15th anniversary tour for Depths with support from Within the Ruins, I Declare War, By The Thousands, The Last Ten Seconds of Life and A Wake In Providence.
[16] the band would also recruit Alex Nourse (who has previously worked with Worm Shepherd) as a touring drummer to replace Matt Kohanowski who left in 2022.
[22] Following the announcement, the band was criticized for being a part of the tour due to past allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct against Attila and Dealer vocalists Chris Fronzak and Aidan Ellaz Holmes, respectively.
Warren responded to the controversy claiming he was unaware of the allegations and distanced himself from other individuals' conduct, though still implied he would remain on the tour and noted he wants concerts "to always be a safe place".
Blast beats, sonic double bass, slow heavy breakdowns and low death metal growls and occasionally the shrieked vocals typical in metalcore are present.
The band has been inspired by acts like Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Behemoth, The Acacia Strain, Deicide, Hatebreed, Suicide Silence, Meshuggah, and Slayer.
