A heavy band from Oregon that kept going after losing a guitarist in 2005.
If you want the vibe, try "VII - Exceptions To No Rules" or just the stark "I." They tell you what you're in for.
They formed in 2002 and put out a steady run of albums for nearly two decades, from 2006's "Demonstrate the Wrath" to 2019's "The Blackest of Hearts." Their song titles often stripped down to just numbers, like "III" and "VI," which gave their catalog a cryptic, almost archival feel. That consistency, through lineup changes and a tragic loss, made them a reliable presence in underground metal.
The band started in Portland in 2002 and released an EP called "The Antichrist" the next year. After guitarist Jesse Freeland died in 2005, they brought in Dave Rotten and kept making albums every few years, with the core of Joel Grind, Adam Pierce, and Chris Reifert holding things down.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
