The group was founded by guitarists Aaron Haines and Ian Sturgill, shortly after the disbandment of their previous band, Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus. The band's name is derived from the 1989 text \"Apocalypse\" written by William S. Burroughs (in which \"he describes art and creative expression taking a literal and physical form\"), and also \"inspired and supported by a healthy amount of paranoia,\" as guitarist Sturgill stated in an interview with About.com. \nThe group's first release, an EP entitled Subhuman Empire, was released in July 2007 through Debello Recordings. In December 2007, Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky inked a deal with German label Nuclear Blast. The band's full-length debut, The Grand Partition and the Abrogation of Idolatry, was produced, mixed and mastered by guitarist James Murphy, and released on April 3, 2009 in Europe and on May 5, 2009 in the United States. \nThe lyrical themes of Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky, which were defined by Exclaim! magazine as \"a big 'fuck you' to all of humanity,\" address topics like \"wage slavery, psychological warfare, 'denial and contortion' of human rights, globalism, and eugenics\". The band cites authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, Mark Twain, Bram Stoker, and Ambrose Bierce as being some of their influences. \n Members\nCurrent members \nJohn Collett - lead vocals (2007 onward), \nJR Daniels - drums (2009 onward), \nAaron Haines - guitar (since 2006), \nJennifer Muse - samples (2008 onward), \nMatt Simpson - bass guitar (2008 onward), \nIan Sturgill - guitar, vocals (since 2006), \nFormer members \nChris Woodall - bass guitar, \nMike Petrak - drums, \nJesse Jolly - bass guitar, \nPete Lamb - drums, \nSession members \nMike Heller - drums (2009)\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Success+Will+Write+Apocalypse+Across+The+Sky","playStationPath":"/stations/282569437/play","stationId":282569437,"bioPath":"/music/Success+Will+Write+Apocalypse+Across+The+Sky/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/From+Graves+of+Valor","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/663/663e28d4a3e5c831645d2f171c922eec_md.jpg","artistName":"From Graves of Valor","artistId":102744,"station_id":280764278},{"musicPath":"/music/Ignominious+Incarceration","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b0c/b0cc8b595fa9f80d9a3053586594a853_md.jpg","artistName":"Ignominious Incarceration","artistId":111657,"station_id":282283701},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Modern+Age+Slavery","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bd9/bd9ed48ef049b4e3f584444684cf18ca_md.jpg","artistName":"The Modern Age Slavery","artistId":365432,"station_id":394418093},{"musicPath":"/music/Afgrund","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1c3/1c338d70bfe4844dd22ce13adf2e3e99_md.jpg","artistName":"Afgrund","artistId":369057,"station_id":394950105},{"musicPath":"/music/brother+von+doom","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5f1/5f1e96e9fc72c4587308fd9c5d2028df_md.jpg","artistName":"brother von doom","artistId":109531,"station_id":282140630},{"musicPath":"/music/Knights+Of+The+Abyss","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4ce/4cee98492d4003461551f95ffb0c2836_md.jpg","artistName":"Knights Of The Abyss","artistId":102748,"station_id":280764281},{"musicPath":"/music/Left+To+Vanish","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/432/43254a4b044f7cabba2bcf0203480534_md.jpg","artistName":"Left To Vanish","artistId":114204,"station_id":282638997},{"musicPath":"/music/Time+Has+Come","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bdc/bdc2f76cf3bf85ad031452afea99568f_md.jpg","artistName":"Time Has Come","artistId":121602,"station_id":283708766},{"musicPath":"/music/A+Breath+Before+Surfacing","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2b7/2b7ded2e97f8ba107daa551612abc67e_md.jpg","artistName":"A Breath Before Surfacing","artistId":81811,"station_id":268581467},{"musicPath":"/music/Viatrophy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a94/a94fda91cb2e6a3ebdda7994c620aaf6_md.jpg","artistName":"Viatrophy","artistId":133835,"station_id":285886307},{"musicPath":"/music/diskreet","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3ad/3adb1088082cf2246cf807b68e7730e7_md.jpg","artistName":"diskreet","artistId":120908,"station_id":283411490},{"musicPath":"/music/Cholera","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cef/cefcaac971e906509552e3c20ca5cdf9_md.jpg","artistName":"Cholera","artistId":110472,"station_id":282142021},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Boy+Will+Drown","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8c7/8c714ba2e55f03ee689d66043d036dea_md.jpg","artistName":"The Boy Will Drown","artistId":115647,"station_id":282865634},{"musicPath":"/music/Dead+Will+Rise","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b56/b5667610e4f1b2ba527d4e9fff4b151f_md.jpg","artistName":"Dead Will Rise","artistId":116353,"station_id":399283088},{"musicPath":"/music/Those+who+lie+beneath","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e49/e49037d246b54c6e97c6a4da7436fc6e_md.jpg","artistName":"Those who lie beneath","artistId":108559,"station_id":281788010},{"musicPath":"/music/From+the+Shallows","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/41c/41c1c0d34e25d77bb172ff36eb441254_md.jpg","artistName":"From the Shallows","artistId":106101,"station_id":281418680},{"musicPath":"/music/with+blood+comes+cleansing","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/078/078ca9e1fb751f6776d015bc95d4b6a5_md.jpg","artistName":"with blood comes cleansing","artistId":111892,"station_id":282283826},{"musicPath":"/music/Crowpath","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/14e/14edddc4f4b794c66017767141573935_md.jpg","artistName":"Crowpath","artistId":110507,"station_id":282142048}]}
