The band consists of vocalist Wayne Clarris, guitarist Adam Esposti, bassist Jacob Maloney, and drummer Thomas Nunan.

[2] Toxicon was first founded by Paul Jones and Adam Esposti, who met in high school through mutual love of Black Label Society.

Early influences included Metallica, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon and Trivium.

With songs coming along at a quicker pace it was decided to skip the traditional opening EP format and a full-length album would be written as the first release.

An opening track was written and re-written several times before a shorter demo developed into a full song with lyrics, going by "Heroes of the Deluge".

Spearheaded by Paul, and using his studio setup, guitars were recorded using a Kemper Profiling Amp with drums being programmed in by Tom using Superior Drummer.

Released on 1 March 2016 the single garnered positive reactions from fans and critics alike and built anticipation for the upcoming album.

The tracks, accompanied by between songs ambiences and speeches, told the story of the wanderer and the coming of the four horseman of the apocalypse in a modern setting.

The album was received favourably by all reviewers and was accompanied by a national tour including a sold-out hometown Geelong show, dates in Adelaide, Ballarat, Bendigo, Warrnambool, Canberra and Melbourne as well as a support slot in Sydney with Twelve Foot Ninja.

Forté magazine's reviewer described the album's concept with "central themes surrounding the idea of 'impending doom' and 'the purging of your power'".

Very early in the process, after a bad show where all the lights failed for half a song, a demo entitled "Tight in The Dark" was written.

[citation needed] After the tour the band went on an unofficial hiatus, playing minimal shows due to the birth of Wayne Clarris' first child.

Adam, Jacob and Tom all moved into a house in Geelong, jokingly known as "The Sharps Box", and began working on songs for the new release.

All information provided by the band as well as leaked footage suggest that they have moved away from the more traditional thrash/heavy metal genre and that the new album focuses more on vocals, with a swing towards more clean singing and melody.
