From the Shallows was a Christian deathcore band from Toledo, Ohio. The band formed in 2005, but over the years, has gone a hiatus.[4] The band has had many members, that included a former member of The Black Dahlia Murder. The band has gotten good reviews from sites such as AllMusic and MetalSucks.[5] The band's debut (and so far only) release, Beyond the Unknown was produced by Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Gwen Stacy).[6] The band has played live with Once Nothing,[7] Woe of Tyrants,[8] and The Ghost Inside.[7]

Name and beliefs[edit]

Lead Guitarist Marco Mendoza addressed if the band was a Christian band or not, on YouTube. He also stated their original name. Here is the full statement:

This is Marco Mendoza I am the Other guitarist and I AM Christian. We started off as a Christian Band we use to be called From The Shallows Came The Sinners. But that name was waaaay to long so we cut it in half. Most of the members where Christian through many changes but we were not always ALL Christian. We wanted to be known as a Positive band more than anything – not necessarily a Christian band – just a band with positive beliefs. Me and our vocalist wrote the lyrics. Yes we are both Christian.
