History

After many years of playing locally in the American Midwest and nationally in addition to producing EPs Embrace the Rain with drummer, Todd Poland, and The Touching of Parallels with drummer, Adam Chilton, Saul spent most of 2017–2018 focused on producing their fourth EP, Aeons, which debuted in spring 2019.[1] The album's headline track, "Brother",[2] describes the loss of a brother and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the coping process.[3]

After exposure on the Sirius XM Octane Test Drive in winter 2019, "Brother" became a regular in Octane's rotation.[4][5] The song was also on Sirius XM Octane's Accelerator show as a recognized up-and-comer. It peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 40.[6]

The band signed to Spinefarm Records. On August 28, 2020, the single "King of Misery" was released to streaming platforms, co-written by David Draiman of Disturbed. The band released their debut album Rise as Equals on October 23, 2020.
