Name Origin:
Alex Bois had this to say on the meaning behind the band's name:
"As far as the band name goes, we wanted something that was not your typical “metal” kind of name, y'know? We wanted something a bit more ambiguous…to not really have something that sounded like we're tied down to a 'genre'."
