Band Break Up

History

Beneath the Sky formed in mid 2004 after the collapse of their previous bands Corrosive and Blind Judgment. Through constant promotion and regional touring Beneath the Sky have gained fans all across the U.S. and in many other parts of the world. In January 2005 Beneath the Sky released a 4-song demo cd that distributed over 5000 copies before its retirement in late 2005. Beneath the Sky completed work on a new album at Track Six Studios in Cleveland,OH with producer Don Debiase. As somewhat of a tradition, whenever the band performs their most famous single "7861" they let fans go as far as joining the band on stage for a choir-style performance for the opening lyrics. Towards the end of 2007, Beneath the Sky were nominated for a Cincinnati Music Award in the hard rock/metal category by CityBeat magazine. On March 22, 2008 in a Myspace blog the band confirmed the addition of two new members, guitarist/vocalist Kevin Stafford and drummer Bryan Cash, who replaced guitarist Chris Profitt and drummer Brandon Sowder respectively. The blog also confirmed the departure of keytarist Matt Jones. The band's second album came out on June 24, 2008. On August 15, 2008 in a Myspace blog the band announced that they had broken up, but the band will still be touring. The band was signed to Victory Records until 2008.
