Punk band &#8220;The Havoc&#8221;. Jason Todd, Josiah Wiswell, and Justin Bullock spent &#8217;01-&#8217;05 making records and touring as \u201cThe Havoc\u201c, but grew restless of the punk scene.

Eventually the music and the line-up (completed by Ben Murray and Dan Matsuura) locked into place. Progressive song structures and metalcore overtones (like those of Killswitch Engage and As I lay dying), were blended with classic metal\/hard rock influences (Pantera, Metallica, Motorhead).
