History

[edit | edit source]

After Ricky Hoover left Suffokate in May 2012, he would start a career of barbering.[7] Due to problems that Hoover was suffering from such as the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and toxic relationships, he decided to return to music and formed Ov Sulfur in 2020.[8][9] In early and mid 2021, the band released its first three singles titled "Behind the Hand of God", "Bathe in the Flame" and "Oblivion".[10][11] On August 6, 2021, the band released their debut EP titled Oblivion, which featured guest vocals from Tim Lambesis from As I Lay Dying and Nick Arthur from Molotov Solution.[12] In September 2021, the band took part in its first tour with Signs of the Swarm and Worm Shepherd.

In May 2022, the band signed to German metal label Century Media and released three more singles that year titled "Wide Open", "Stained in Rot" and "Death ov Circumstance".[13][14][15] On January 20, 2023, the band announced that their debut studio album titled The Burden Ov Faith will be released on March 24, 2023 and released a single from the album titled "Earthen", which was about Hoover's nephew who died from cancer at the age of 16.[16] Another single off the album titled "Befouler" which featured guest vocals from Alex Terrible from Slaughter to Prevail was released on February 22, 2023.[17][18] On January 17, 2024, the band released a single titled "Hivemind" which featured guest vocals from Lukas Nicolai from Mental Cruelty.[19] The band released another single titled "Untruth" on August 27, 2024.[20] In mid 2024, the band took part in Signs of the Swarm's Decade of the Swarm tour with Cane Hill, 156/Silence and A Wake in Providence.[21]
