History Trivia / EnfoldDarkness

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Todd Honeycutt committed suicide at the end of August of 2017; while no one has ever been willing to go on record as to why he did, Elijah Whitehead admitted that he was generally a deeply troubled person with a lot of personal demons that he had been struggling with for a great deal of time.

* ThePeteBest: Josh del Sesto, Eviean [=DuReaux=], and Josh Brown were all early members who have not done anything major since leaving the band, though Brown returned very briefly after Jack Blackburn left before leaving again.

* RefittedForSequel: Demon King's debut single "The Watcher, Wreathed in Flame" started out as an unfinished Enfold Darkness track (that Matt Brown had apparently intended as a third "Exaltations" song), which explains why its sound is so reminiscent of his era in Enfold Darkness.

* DevelopmentHell: There was an eight-year gap between ''Our Cursed Rapture'' and ''Adversary Omnipotent'' that can be chalked up to a lot of different reasons. For one thing, the band could not keep a lineup, and while Matt Brown wrote relatively steadily, there was always the difficulty of getting new members up to speed and then hoping that they would last more than one or two tours. Nonetheless, they had at least a few songs done as early as 2012 ("Lairs of the Ascended Masters" and "Banishment", while "Lairs of the Ascended Masters" was apparently partially finished by the end of the year), and most likely could have hit the studio, but between Sumerian dropping them and their revolving door of vocalists and drummers, they stayed put. Over the next few years, their personal lives, difficulty in holding down a lineup, and general bad luck forced the band to be put on the back burner, and while the new blood (Greg Vance and Todd Honeycutt) gave them a reason to continue, Greg's bad personal luck and Matt Brown's HeelFaithTurn threw yet another monkey wrench into things. By the time they finally got the album done, many songs had been ready for years, and quite a few of them were songs that Matt had written before he had left.
