Biography
Formed in April 1998, the band released two 7" singles in 1999 before signing to
Chemikal Underground in early 2000, at which point they recorded two EPs before releasing their first full-length,
A Story in White
, in 2001.
Sleep and Release followed in 2003 but the band moved to Undergroove Records soon after for their third official release,
Seclusion
. However, the group re-signed to Chemikal Underground in August 2006.
Their fourth album,
My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go
was released in Europe and the United States on 29 January 2007 and in Japan on the 14 October 2006, taking its title from the novel
The Exorcist
. In a recent interview, singer Craig B. revealed the long delay between releases was partly due to losing his singing voice for six months. "We didn’t know if it was going to continue so everybody went their separate ways waiting for my voice to come back. I went to see a throat doctor and he told me to eat yogurt which I did and it did absolutely nothing. The only thing that made any difference was time 'cause I'd spent the previous couple of years screaming every single night and whiskey and smoking and that was just a horrible combination. I think my body just said stop."
