Equally rooted in hardcore, crust punk, death metal, and grindcore, they began composing as a unit, establishing fluid teamwork and drilling the material nonstop to ensure maximum tightness ahead of any studio work. Their earliest appearances arrived in 2014 via the EPs Adorned in Decay and False Healer plus a split with Reproacher. Good Fight Music issued the debut full-length Embrace the Wretched Flesh in 2015, a set of ten songs clocking in at 23 minutes that earned substantial coverage in the specialist press. Because the songs had been written the previous year, however, the musicians were already exploring new territory by the time the album appeared.

The group joined the Profound Lore roster in 2018 shortly before unveiling its second album, Bestial Hymns of Perversion. Denser and weightier than the first record, it carried a thicker, death metal-inflected character. The ensemble further sharpened its punishing death metal identity on the 2020 release Sulfuric Disintegration.
