The group combines fast and frantic grindcore influenced drumming and guitar work, and raw screams.
Antonio Leiriao, their second vocalist, originally lived in New York[3] before he moved to Indiana in 1999 to join the group.
99, a split with Mara'akate shaped as Indiana,[4] and what would have been the band's first full-length album, which was under the working title of ATM Diatribe.
That same year Mike Dixon (who previously worked in the band Rep Seki) joined Usurp Synapse as the keyboardist.
ATM Diatribe was initially supposed to be released on compact disc and vinyl through Happy Couples Never Last, however that too was cancelled when the band broke up in the spring of 2001.
