History

Gene and Jason met back in 2004 while Jason was selling t-shirts for Meshuggah while they were on tour with Strapping. He was taking a break from touring with Mushroomhead where he was known as J Mann. He never mentioned that he was mushroomhead’s frontman to Gene and it was’nt until late in the tour that Gene found out. Originally the group was intended to be similar Probot with Jason Popson as the vocalist and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers. When Jason was finally ready to record though the only one who was not busy was Gene. in January 2007 Gene flew out to Ohio and he and Jason wrote and recorded absentee in all of ten days. Guitarist Rob Reinard was brought in to do the guitar for the session by studio engineer Bill Korecky.
