Visible Darkness was started by three best friends who have been playing together since January, 2002. Cory, Jake and Devin's music inspiration has changed from artists like Disturbed and God Smack, to Chimaira, The Red Cord, Killswitch Engaged etc… In June, 2004 Visible Darkness had their first show with Dual Vocalists: Chris Martin (clean) and Lynwood Slipp (distorted); two guitarists Devin Martin and Zack Roza; Jake Roth on bass and Cory Pinkston on drums. Visible Darkness put out a version of a metal Linkin Park. Two shows later Devin's Co-worker Kyle had approached him and asked if he could take over the booking for the band. After proving himself by providing shows, promotions and merchandise, Kyle became the manager. After a few shows Lynwood decided to leave the band. With out hesitation classmate Scott Walsh jumped in and delivered a more aggressive type of voice. Before each practice Scott would warm up to bands like Killswitch Engaged and As Hope Dies. Eventually Chris Martin became a father and had to leave the band, making Scott the only vocalist which took the band's first step to a more heavy and crunchy sound. For the next year the members stayed the same. In the summer of 2005 Visible Darkness recorded the single "Desert Killing" (lyrics written by Chris Martin).The following summer a dispute between the two guitarists broke out and Zack quit the band. During the next few months the three instrumentalists changed their sound to a more heavy crunch, with break downs that gripped the ear of any who listened. During this change of music, Scott introduced Rob Brewer (guitarist), who quickly picked up where Zack left off. Rob gave the band a new way to look at writing their music by adding melodic tunes to their songs. In September of 2007 Visible Darkness recorded two more songs (Two-Face and A Poem to Suicide). Visible Darkness had played many shows in neighboring states, but in November 21st, 2007, they took their first mini-tour, up to Washington.
