History
The band started in 1993 with Original members Duane White (guitars/vocals) and Larry Davis (drums) under the name Enslaved. At their inception, they played a style resembling progressive metal. In 1995, they put the band on a brief hiatus. They later reconvened in 1998 and got signed to Rowe Productions. They released their debut self-titled album under Rowe. In 2001, the band recorded a cover of Living Sacrifice's song "No Longer", off of the Reborn, for the Tribute to Living Sacrifice compilation, which consisted of many bands such as Soul Embraced, Kekal and Crutch. In 2003, they released an independent EP titled Nom. After several years of silence, the band reformed in 2010 and released an album titled Walking the Appain Way on Sacrosanct Records. In 2011, the band played Cornerstone Festival. In 2014, Bassist Kyle Rockwell announced his departure from the band. In May 2016, the band announced that they were disbanding after over 20 years.{{cite web|url=http://www.indievisionmusic.com/news/gnashing-of-teeth-break-up/|title=Gnashing of Teeth Break Up|publisher=Indie Vision Music|first=Mason|last=Beard|date=October 17, 2016|access-date=November 8, 2016}} On June 16, 2019, the band announced they were reuniting with the lineup of Chris McKinney, Duane White, Larry Davis, Kyle Rockwell, and Travis Cooper and would be performing at Audiofeed Festival.
