Following the break-up of David Journeaux and Mike Ieradi's previous band, A Legend Falls, the two formed Today I Caught the Plague.
After numerous pre-production sessions the band finally entered Addictive Sound Studios with producer and good friend Dean Hadji.
With an EP ready to be released and a group of musicians eager to tour, the band recruited Eric Stone and Matt Young, formerly of There Were Thousands.
In 2011 the group went into the studio with Canadian producers Anthony Calabretta and Cameron McLellan to record their first full-length album.
In March 2012, the band toured the US for their first time in support of Protest the Hero, Periphery, Jeff Loomis and The Safety Fire.
On May 25, 2013, the band officially announced the name change with a press release:[4] After 5 years of touring and creating music under Today I Caught the Plague, we have collectively decided it's time to move on.
It would also, however, mark their final album with vocalist Dave Journeaux and drummer Mike Ieradi prior to their departures.
