Comprising ex-Shadows Fall and Unearth drummer Derek Kerswill, Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach, and ex-Overcast and Killswitch Engage guitarist Pete Cortese, the band built a reputation for an emotive live show with Leach showcasing soulful, blues-y stylings never previously heard. Cuts like the riff lead “Lay My Burden Down” drew comparison with the work of Down while the band enjoyed regular replays on the then huge MTV’s Headbangers Ball as well as tours with Trivium, Soil and In Flames.
