History

The band was originally formed in 1995, by five people: Brett Hestla of Virgos Merlot, Troy McLawhorn of Doubledrive, Clint Lowery of Sevendust, Corey Lowery of Stereomud, Stuck Mojo, and Will Hunt of Skrape. But they didn't make a record through the years because the members were in different bands until they came together again in 2004. The band is considered a sort of supergroup considering the fact that all five members have spent time in nu metal and hard rock groups of varying success, although the band members disagree with this classification, largely because, with the exception of Sevendust, none of their prior projects fared very well commercially.

In 2007, the band posted 2 songs on their MySpace page: "Fist From The Sky," a much heavier and faster-paced song than anything that was on Twelve Year Silence ; and "Hail Mary," a slower, almost progressive song, almost reminiscent of one of Brett's previous bands, ViRGOS. Both songs retain the melody and excellent full-band harmonies that the band has become known for, while adding new dimension to the Dark New Day catalog.

• Goodbye
• Hail Mary
