* AbsenteeActor: David Rivera and Mario Moreno from the end of 2017 until 2018, when they formally left. They were explicitly still in the band until stated otherwise, but both had pressing personal issues that have prevented them from being able to do anything with the band and eventually forced them to leave. This extended to recording, as [[Music/{{Warbringer}} Chase Becker and Carlos Cruz]] tracked their fifth full-length and are touring with them as session members.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually a hard 8, though their heavier tracks creep into a 9. ''In Hatred's Flame'' is a hard 9/soft 10.

* UpdatedRerelease: The full-length version of ''In Hatred's Flame'' was basically just the EP with a couple new tracks thrown in.

* SpecialGuest: Due to personal issues that have kept David Rivera and Mario Moreno from being able to do anything with the band since late 2017, [[Music/{{Warbringer}} Chase Becker and Carlos Cruz]] will be tracking their fifth full-length.

Formed in Whittier, California in 2002 by Jadran "Conan" Gonzalez (guitar, vocals) and Mario Moreno (drums), the band went through various members early on and released a slew of demos before eventually settling on a lineup that included Artak "Tak" Tavaratsyan (guitars) and Balmore Lemus (bass, vocals); this lineup released the ''Reign of the War Gods'' EP in 2006, which attracted underground attention and picked up some steam on a then-booming MySpace. They followed up with the ''In Hatred's Flame'' EP the following year, which attracted the attention of Heavy Artillery Records, a fledgling indie label. Tak also left sometime around here; Daniel Duarte joined on bass as Lemus moved to Tak's old spot, and with Heavy Artillery's attention came a hasty reissue of ''In Hatred's Flame'' in 2008 with several new songs. Now with national distribution on their side, the band began to take off as a promising young talent. Various tours occurred around this time, though Lemus left sometime around 2010 and was replaced with Sean Redline. A demo for a new song entitled "Entombed with the Pharaohs" was released in 2010 and seemed to point to a more death metal-oriented approach. In 2011, ''Beyond the Fall of Time'', their sophomore release, dropped, though label issues had postponed the release. The band began to tour in support of the album, but Heavy Artillery Records folded in 2012 after a long history of mismanagement and left the band without label support. Redline and Duarte wound up leaving during this time; the former was replaced by David Rivera, while the latter was replaced by Clodoaldo "Aldo" Bibiano. It was during this period of time that they also began writing for their third record while in the process of shopping for a new label. They were in luck; sometime during 2013, they signed with Prosthetic Records and recorded their third album, though Aldo left within the year due to his need to support his newborn child and was replaced by Jovanni Perez.

* InTheStyleOf: They have recorded their own interpretations of [[Creator/LudwigVanBeethoven "Moonlight Sonata (Act 3)" and "Appassionata"]].

On February 4th, 2014, ''Slave to the Sword'' was released and marked their first release on a large label. This also marked their first time touring with big-name acts by way of a slot with Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum, followed by another tour with their buddies in Music/LichKing. In addition to their newfound touring opportunities, they also recorded a brief advertisement for the Samsung Galaxy S5 with Virgin Mobile, bringing them to national attention. Perez also left around this time; while Aldo returned for a few months, he was gone again by 2015, and [[Music/AbysmalDawn Mike Cosio]] took his spot. After the whirlwind of touring had concluded, they marched back into the studio, and ''Ride Forth'', their fourth full-length release, was announced for a very early 2016 release. More touring will inevitably follow.

* CoverVersion: They have covered [[Music/JudasPriest "Painkiller", "Freewheel Burning",]], and [[Music/YngwieMalmsteen "As Above, So Below"]], and they have also covered [[Music/OzzyOsbourne "Bark at the Moon"]] live.

* SiblingDuo: Jadran Gonzalez and Mario Moreno are cousins, so close enough.
