Background

In the latter half of 2013, [1] the band released their initial EP, Staring in the Dark, [2] produced by Rick Beato. [1] Before creating this work, the ensemble recorded eight additional songs, whose recorded versions had been kept private. Garcia reported that the band chose to save the eight tunes and "ride [the] five songs out". [3] To begin 2014, "The Fold", which was the debut single from the band, was released to radio. [1]

In March 2015, the group released "Bitch", the second single overall from the ensemble. [4] Five months later, [5] the band published a music video for "Everything", a single from Origins, which was, at the time, to be the title of their first studio album. [6] The album was then published three days later. [7] [8]

Touring

In September 2015, the ensemble toured with Full Devil Jacket [6] and performed throughout the United States that next month with American hard rock band Pop Evil. [9] [10] In early 2016, the group traveled the United States along with The Veer Union, Artifas and Bobaflex. [11]

Critical reception

Todd Jolicoeur of 100% Rock Magazine depicted the studio album as "ambitious, clocking in at over an hour" and "featuring seventeen tracks full of rock". [12] Chris Gonda of PureGrainAudio, however, described the work as "loaded with tons of hooks, melody, heavy guitar, powerful musicianship, and outstanding singing". [13]
