The band started about 3 years ago, as a joke almost...it was called the 4 Horsemen, and they were just covering old Metallica songs. Brad was in a band called Dead Only Better, Marc was in a band called the Ceremonial Snips, and Bobbo was in a band called Sweet F.A. Mike was a friend from highschool that we knew played drums and loved Metallica. Things started going wrong in the other bands, and after writing 2 songs of their own, they could see that MurderthyMaker (then called Haddonfield) was quickly becoming the main focus to all of them.They wrote a set, and played their first show in February of 2002.
