Presumably named after a painting by 18th one C painter Jacques-Louis David, Death of Marat formed as a three-piece in Arizona in 2000. Drummer and vocalist Jef Wright, bassist John Brandon, and guitar player Mike Juliano gelled from the start. Their debut release, Tattered, was released on Boulder, Colorado's Satellite Transmissions Records later that year, the band's progressive and artsy brand of prog-fueled hood was immediate from the go. Sometimes slapdash and off-kilter, but perpetually intense, the band's churning sound like a shot impressed. The brief, 27-minute magnetic disk quickly drew the band comparisons to Fugazi and Unwound, with their clattering instrumentation and all-over-the-map vocals. All Eyes Open was released in two long time later on Stickfigure Records. Again, the band's post-hardcore sound was sundry with their seamless shading from song to song, and they created an impressive environment for themselves and their fans to vent musically.
