Trenches is a Christian metal band, formed by Haste the Day vocalist, Jimmy Ryan. The band announced their hiatus in 2010 before getting back together in early 2012.
Background
Jimmy Ryan, a member of Haste the Day, at the time, decided to depart the band, when they were in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 30, 2005, doing a concert, where he is a native of the city. The group was formed, when Ryan selected Joel David Lauver to be a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist, Eli Larch Chastain to be a guitarist, Bill Scott to be a bassist, and Phil Hook to be their drummer.
Trenches commenced as a musical entity, in 2007, with their first studio album, The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole, that released on September 16, 2008 by Solid State Records.[1][2][3] Their first concert occurred in the city of Noblesville, Indiana, on November 24, 2007. The band's national debut was during a performance at the Cornerstone Festival, the subsequent year. Trenches was to perform, in 2009, at the same festival, yet they were replaced on the line-up listing.[4][5][6][7]
Since then, Hook and Chastain have left the band, and drummer, Zach Frizzell, joined the band. The band is currently working on a new album, titled, Reckoner.[8]
On August 4, 2016, Trenches released an instrumental track, "The Death of All Mammoths", from the upcoming album, Reckoner.[9]
The band in November 2017, announced their new drummer, Dyllen Jerome Nance.[citation needed]
On September 8, 2018, the band announced that Nance was recording the drums for the album's single, "The Death of All Mammoths", once again.[citation needed]
During the Coronavirus pandemic, the band became much more active[citation needed] and began finishing Reckoner as a six-piece lineup,[citation needed] signing with Noise Order Collective[citation needed] and announced the release date of September 16, 2020.[citation needed]
