The members met and began writing materials in 2008, eventually signing to Century Media Records on 14 December 2012 and releasing Fires of Life on 16 May 2013.

[3] Founding members, and brothers, Parker Jameson and Spencer Weidner had been writing material since their early teens, yet had difficulty putting together a full band due to the lack of like-minded, capable musicians in their hometown.

The band began recording their debut album at Electrowerks Studios that summer, and announced their signing with Century Media months later in December.

The album was slated released worldwide November 4, 2016, being tracked and engineered by both Starkill and Charles Macak of Electrowerks Studios, and mastered by Troy Glessner.

[14] It is the band's first album with their newest band member, female vocalist Sarah Lynn Collier (who already provided guest vocals on the Shadow Sleep album), and features performances and production from members of Epica (Coen Janssen on the piano), Turisas (Olli Vänskä on the violin) and Swallow the Sun (Aleksi Munter on the keyboards).
