Formed in 2011 as a convergence of members of various Steamboat Springs bands, guitarist/vocalist Jon Gibbs and original bass player/vocalist Bryan Joyce decided it would be fun to create a band that covered primarily Black Sabbath tunes, which was a huge musical influence and inspiration for both from an early age. With Pat Waters on the drums, this vision became a reality.
