Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
From 1994-Justin Scheer met Jason Keuny in High School where they'd come home and listen to bands like Overkill, and Testament, and old Metallica. It wasn't until '97 that they would start playing Slayer and Sepultura songs with Roy Mendoza. Without a drummer they'd jammed on and off. In September 2001 they hooked up with Ron Serzyck and formed the band. After playing for about a year and a half they decided to break due to financial regards. They are currently upgrading their rig and preparing to write the second cd.
