==History==
===Formation and Bastards EP===
The band was originally formed between May and June 2007. Fred Sherman, before the formation of the band, played in alternative rock band Plastic December. After the break-up of the band in May, Sherman met his friend Nicholas Hamm and both decided to start a musical project together. Sherman was a friend of famous guitarist Mike Armstrong, who was then a solo artist. He invited Mike to play, and he brought with him guitarist Bob Liberty and vocalist Benjamin Stones (ex-member of local punk band Insanity). They played a few Metallica and Led Zeppelin covers and they found out that they sounded great together.
They managed to put out a three song EP out, entitled Bastards. It was released on June 21st, and sold out a few weeks after its release. One of the songs that appeared in the EP was the original demo of "Love of God (Part 1)" (in the EP its title was "Breaking"), which would later appear in the band's debut album.
The band stop playing when Eduardo Savino invited Sherman and Hamm to form industrial rock band Self Esteem. The project was not cancelled, though.
