History
[edit | edit source]Entheos was formed by drummer Navene Koperweis, vocalist Chaney Crabb, bassist Evan Brewer, and ex-Animosity guitarist Frank Costa in early 2015.[4] Crabb's vocal prowess rose to prominence after her vocal audition video for Veil of Maya's vacant singer spot went viral.[5]
