As of December 23, 2019, CJ [=McCreery=] has been fired from the band following numerous accusations of serial DomesticAbuse and sexually predatory behavior. After some deliberation, the decision was made to release ''Immortal'' on its originally scheduled date, and the band has stated in unambiguous terms that they are not breaking up. Adam would later go on to state in an interview that they were in talks with an extremely strong candidate for a new vocalist. Popular rumor placed Will Ramos (ex-A Wake in Providence) as their new vocalist, and while an official announcement has still yet to be made, fans who saw them on their first post-CJ show confirmed Ramos' presence in the band. His status was unknown at the time; Ramos repeatedly stated that he was just a live session member, while the other members told individual fans that the job was his if he wanted it and that he was the guy for them as far as they were concerned. With touring off the table due to COVID-19, the band got to work on new material, and Austin also stated in a podcast that an instrumental version of ''Immortal'' was coming in the near future (which did come out the following year), while an UpdatedRerelease with new vocal tracks is also being worked on.

In 2022, the band announced that they have finished recording ''Pain Remains'', their fourth album, which will be released in October. The lead single, "Sun//Eater", was released on May 13 after being previewed during their live shows. The album dropped on October 14 to further critical acclaim and also landed on the Billboard charts, making them the third deathcore band to accomplish such a feat after Music/SuicideSilence and Music/WhitechapelBand.

Formed in Warren County, New Jersey in 2010 by Tom Barber (vocals), Aaron Brown, Jeff Moskovciak (guitars), Gary Herrera (bass), and Scott Cooper (drums) as a metalcore act, the band almost immediately put out ''Triumph'', their debut EP. Brown left very shortly after the band formed, however, and Adam De Micco replaced him the following year. This lineup embarked on a small regional run up and down the Northeast before tracking ''Bone Kingdom'', which came out around the beginning of 2012, though Moskovciak and Cooper left at some point during the year. The former was not replaced right away, but Austin Archey jumped in to replace the latter. The band kept on grinding throughout 2012 and 2013, and by the end of 2013, ''Maleficium'', their third EP, had dropped and made something of a splash online. The buzz that they had gained allowed them to gain spots on multiple tours with major acts, and a decent amount of 2014 was spent on the road. Connor Deffley also wound up joining around either the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015, rounding out the lineup for the first time since 2011. This lineup went on to track and release ''Psalms'', their full-length debut, in June of 2015, which was hailed as a remarkably mature and well-thought-out release from a promising new band. The next year or so was devoted to touring the hell out of the album, and by the end of the year, they had already run back into the studio for their second full-length. ''Flesh Coffin'' was released in February of 2017 to excellent reviews, but Gary Herrera also announced his departure around the same time, citing general burnout. The band continued onward with a full year of touring, but a bigger shock came in April of 2018: Tom Barber had replaced Alex Koehler in Chelsea Grin and had left Lorna Shore. The band stated that they were not calling it quits, and after many rumors about the new vocalist, a still image from a new video was shown on Twitter that confirmed the rumors that [[Music/SignsOfTheSwarm CJ McCreery]] had joined, followed by an official announcement that spelled it out. "This Is Hell", a standalone single, was released in September of 2018 as their first work with [=McCreery=]. The band's third full-length is done as of spring 2019, and upon completion of the ''Flesh Coffin'' touring cycle, they signed a deal with Century Media Records. ''Immortal'', their third full-length, will be released in early 2020.

* ''The Absolution of Hatred'' (2015) (single)

* ''This Is Hell'' (2018) (single)
* ''Darkest Spawn'' (2019) (single)

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Subverted with CJ, as he wasn't even really a friend to begin with; he wore out his welcome very quickly and quickly became a thorn in the side of his bandmates (and picked up a rep in the touring world for being a gigantic JerkAss who was to be avoided as much as possible), and even before he was outed, they were sick of his shit and were gearing up to fire him. Also currently subverted with Tom; both Adam and Austin (especially the latter, who went off on him on Twitter at the time) were initially not at all happy with him about it, but as Tom has settled into Chelsea Grin and Lorna Shore has settled into life without Tom and both acts have flourished, they have been quite happy to abandon all hard feelings and ill will and be friends again.

* TrueCompanions: Will Ramos and [[Music/{{Cognitive}} Shane Jost]] are eternal best buds and occasional collaborators who will always support each others' work, and Shane himself also auditioned for the vocal spot after CJ was kicked out and was a good sport about it when they chose Will instead.

* ManOnFire: "Offering of Fire" and "Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire", both coupled with DrivenToSuicide.

* SmallNameBigEgo: CJ, even before he was kicked out. He didn't even particularly like being in the band, hated touring (and was notorious for complaining constantly about petty grievances and regularly embarrassed the band with his conduct towards fans and other bands), decided on multiple occasions to arbitrarily refuse to go on stage and ditch his bandmates for the night, half-assed the recording process for ''Immortal'', and generally did the absolute bare minimum. In short, he treated the band as an ego boost and clout generator and little else, and Adam stated in no uncertain terms that he was only looking out for himself and did not care one bit about his bandmates.

* FadingIntoTheNextSong: On ''Pain Remains'', the album version of "Sun//Eater" fades into "Cursed to Die", with the latter track then fading into "Soulless Existence" afterwards.

** ''Pain Remains'' revolves around lucid dreaming and the experience an unnamed narrator has creating a world of their own within their dreams.

** ''Pain Remains'' revolves around an unnamed narrator having a lucid dream and creating a world of their own within that dream.

* GriefSong: The title track of ''Pain Remains'' is an entire 20-minute mini-opera about someone who is overcome by the grief of their loved one having an untimely death, and how the sorrow erodes his sanity to the point of setting themselves on fire alongside the house they lived in as shown in the three-part music video.

* ConceptAlbum: ''...And I Return to Nothingness'' is based around the stages of death ("To the Hellfire"), purgatory ("Of the Abyss") and resurrection (the title track).

* IcarusAllusion: {{Inverted}} with "Sun//Eater", where Icarus manages to come into contact with and consume the sun rather than fall to his death

** ''Pain Remains'' dials back on the breakdowns and further amplifies the black metal elements in their trademark sound, taking notes particularly from depressive/suicidal black metal.

* ManOnFire: "Offering of Fire", along with DrivenToSuicide.

In 2022, the band announced that they have finished recording ''Pain Remains'', their fourth album, which will be released in October. The lead single, "Sun//Eater", was released on May 13 after being previewed during their live shows.

** ''Immortal'' introduced prominent SymphonicMetal elements and was also significantly heavier, with numerous slam breaks and the usage of seven-string guitars on multiple tracks. This new sound was entirely carried over to ''...And I Return to Nothingness'', only with a far greater emphasis on the symphonic parts, and introduced prominent power metal elements.

* TruckDriversGearChange: Used in the final chorus to "...And I Return to Nothingness".

* SurrealMusicVideo: The music video for "Into the Earth" can certainly qualify

** ''Pain Remains'' dials back on the breakdowns and adds much more noticeable black metal elements, particularly from depressive/suicidal black metal.

* IconicLogo: Both the "LS" coffin and the ''Immortal'' stick effigy have become this, as per Austin, they came up with the former for an easy universal calling card that they could put on merch, and one of the signs that the band had made it was when they began finding numerous photos on social media of fans getting the coffin tattooed on them.
