Artist History We started in September of 99, and Ian Ottosen was the vocalist. Things didnt work out with him, so John Marshall joined the band. Ever since then, we've been gaining popularity, and have evolved musically. We're no longer another crust band, now we are a hardcore/punk rock/metal/bullshit band.
