The Lion's Daughter was formed in 2007 by guitarist/vocalist Rick Giordano, drummer Erik Ramsier, and bassist Scott Fogelbach. The band was originally conceived out of a hatred for the insincere and uninspired fodder choking the mainstream metal scene. They take notes from a myriad of metal's extremes, but live by no musical limitations and are driven to please no audience but themselves. The band doesn't play as if it simply wants to see the world end; it sounds like they want to be the ones to destroy it.

Since their inception, The Lion's Daughter have built a reputation as a formidable live force, sharing the stage with High On Fire, Pig Destroyer, Eyehategod, Torche, Misery Index, Nachtmystium, Dark Funeral, and more. Staying true to their underground ethic, the band have toured around the country on the backs of several independent releases.
