Vocalist Michael Crafter, guitarists Jona Weinhofen and Kevon Cameron, ba**ist Sean Kennedy, and drummer JJ formed the ingeniously named I k**ed the Prom Queen in Adelaide, Australia, in 2003. Their Choose to Live or Die EP followed shortly afterward, and 2004 saw the release of their debut long-player, When Goodbye Means Forever, which featured an emotive and melodic amalgam of hardcore and heavy metal made popular by American bands such as k**switch Engage and Shadows Fall. Their follow-up Music for the Recently Deceased hit stores at home in July 2006, and after the guys inked a deal with Metal Blade Records, the label issued the record in North America that November. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
