History
The band formed in 2013 as an acoustic pairing of Alex Paton and current guitarist, Adam Kerr.[2] They almost called the band Beneath Burning Skies before ultimately settling on As Everything Unfolds.[3]
After bringing on Charlie Rolfe as their vocalist, the band self-released their debut EP Jekyll & Hyde in 2014[4][5], followed by their second EP Collide in 2017.
Their third EP, Closure, was released in 2018 to positive reviews.[6][7] In September 2020, the band signed with Long Branch Records, an imprint of SPV Schallplatten.[8] They released their first full-length album, Within Each Lies The Other, on 26 March 2021.[9] On 13 May 2022, Owen Hill left the band on good terms to pursue new goals.[10]
In January 2023, the band announced their second album, Ultraviolet, would be released on 21 April.[11] The album was released to generally positive reviews and has since been nominated for 'Best Album Of The Year 2023' by Metal Hammer magazine.[12]
