History

Bloodline Severed started out as a band named Markd in 1998, with bassist David Wichard, vocalist Corey Weaver and two others. The band performed in a more Christian rock genre, similar to P.O.D. and Creed. [7] The band went through some lineup changes and a name change, from Markd to Bloodline Severed. The name comes from Hebrews 9:22. By 2003, the band's lineup consisted of Wichard, Weaver, guitarists Joshua Lambeth and Dempsey Mills Jr., keyboardist Stephen Horton and drummer John Snyder. [9]

In 2006, the band released their debut EP, titled Fear of Reality.

Weaver departed from the band in 2012 for a brief time, being replaced by Jimmy Shaddix. Guitarist Joey Cowan was added to the lineup. Shaddix was in the band for seven months before Weaver returned. [11]
