Formed in 2006, in the Western Sydney locality of Blacktown, the group originally consisted of vocalist Brendan van Ryn, guitarists Gary Markowski and Sean Delander, bassist Josh King, and drummer Lee Stanton. Most members were around 15 years old at the time.
In 2007 they released their first demo, the three track This Hole Isn't Deep Enough for the Twelve of You, and began playing local shows. They quickly gained a loyal fanbase among local deathcore fans in Western Sydney due to their highly energetic performances, and went on to independently tour the east coast of Australia.
After touring they returned to the studio to record their first EP Infinite Death, of which all lyrics were written by Brendan van Ryn after the instrumentals were recorded. Infinite Death was released in 2008 via Shock and subsequently Skull And Bones Records.
