  In the summer of 2007, five individuals collected in southern Los Angeles, California with the intention of creating raw, aggressive black metal. This collaboration of minds, now known as Lake of Blood, consummated its existence with few, select live performances before entering the studio in January 2008 to begin the first recording.
