Archive material and source history
Lack of Purity came together in New York City's underground metal scene around the early 2000s, with Ethan James on vocals and guitar and Jake Morales on bass. They put out their first album, 'A Star's Descending,' in 2005, and that title track stuck around as something people kept coming back to at shows.
Their sound was pretty direct, with songs like 'Animal' and 'Brutal Freedom' leaning into that straightforward metal energy. They released a few more records after that debut, including 'The Awakening' in 2008 and 'The Black Death' a couple years later.
Some of their material, like 'Hands of Death' and 'The Disappointed,' had a bluntness that drew both attention and some pushback. They weren't especially quiet about how they felt regarding the music business, either, which added to their reputation for being fairly uncompromising.
