The band was fully realized in 1996 when Dagon left Colombia and moved back to the US where he met Incubus who joined on drums.This line-up has remained stable for more than fifteen years. Their sound involves the combination of old school thrash metal, major guitar progressions with the depth and darkness of black metal's chaotic minor guitar progressions.

"Sevenskies are a Hardcore band from Cairns, they formed in May of 2009 and have been working hard ever since to write the best heavy music they can. They recorded their first EP in February of 2010 in Sydney at Freefall Studios and the popularity of their music hasn't stopped growing since then. They have gone through their fair share of difficulties along the way, including a lineup change, but that hasn't stopped them from reaching for the top." - Quote Triple J Unearthered
