The Deadlight Effect was formed in late 2006 when guitarist/keyboardist Ryan Hart relocated to Las Vegas, NV and came in contact with a group of three other musicians who had been playing together previously under a different name.The band began practicing & writing on a full-time basis and recorded thier first 3-song demo in Febuary 2007. More song-writing & rehearsal followed and the band continued to evolve it's sound. Listeners began to take notice and the band started playing out around their hometown, developing a loyal fan-base around the world.
In October 2007, the band made a 2-week trek to California to record thier debut full-length album,"Omniscience". The album showcased 10 songs, spanning over 55 minutes long. Tracks were posted for streaming online and an immediate surge of praise came from a national audience, including several record labels, promoters, & media outlets. The album would eventually be released January 8th 2008, to an ever-growing fan-base. In Spring 2008, the band hit the road on a 2-month U.S tour, which spanned throughout the west coast, reaching as far as eastern Texas. Following the tour, musical direction, interests, outside commitments & personalities within the band started to drift apart and there would eventually be a split among band members.
In 2010, following a relocation to Boise, ID., the band would resurface with a new line-up. Ryan Hart would remain the sole guitarist, new members James Catchpole (Keys), Ren Shaw (Drums), & Luke "Anderson (Bass) were brought into the fold. With the revitalised line-up, the band began working on new songs. After initially recording their sophomore album "Lost Frequencies" J.P Engstrom (guitar) and Brad Opper (guitar) were added to the lineup. As the bands direction and sound changed, so did roster. With the departure of 3 members, Brad Opper would move from guitar to vocals & keys, and the group would welcome Mike Faylor (Drums) and Charles Taylor (Bass, Vocals). Focused and armed with the best lineup yet the band is currently finishing up "Lost Frequencies" due to release early 2012.
