They got their first break in 2012 when they were able to win the "Road to Mayhem" competition to secure a slot performing on the same bill as bands Slipknot, Motörhead, Anthrax, and Slayer.

[4] On November 16, 2013, it was announced that Chase, Erik, Evan, and Colin will no longer be in Thrown into Exile due to musical differences, leaving Mario the only original member left.

[12] The band have cited an array of influences including Children of Bodom, Machine Head, Amon Amarth, Rob Zombie,[13] Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, In Flames, Fear Factory, Soilwork, Slipknot, Danzig,[14] Misfits,[15] Dimmu Borgir, Bathory, Mayhem,[16] Satyricon,[17] Testament, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, DevilDriver,[18] and Lamb of God[19] as their artistic influences.

But there's also stuff outside of metal, our drummer Chase comes from a jazz, funk, & R&B background and I really enjoy listening to Louis Prima, Dean Martin, Depeche Mode, Morrissey, The Smiths, Frank Sinatra etc.

[13] Former vocalist Evan Seidlitz has also cited that his vocal style, image, and stage performance is influenced by Björn Strid of Soilwork,[17] Satyr of Satyricon, and Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir.
