History

The Procedure formed in 2001 at The College of New Jersey in Trenton, NJ. The band self-released a 4-song demo in 2002 and began performing in and around New Jersey. In early 2003 they released a 7" on Warmachine Records before signing to Brightside/Blackout! Records that spring and releasing their first full length, Rise of New Reason in September 2003. They temporarily disbanded in 2004 after the departure of drummer Mike Donatelli, but he returned to the band the next year and they resumed working on their second LP, Shift Pacific. In 2008, they recorded their third full length, The Ancestor's Tale, which was released on February 26, 2009 on the band's own Eyeset World Records.
