Formed from the ashes of Texas metal outfit
Embodyment, Dallas' (and New York, in the case of one member)
the Famine fully embraced their love of southern metal (
Pantera, for example) and released the debut album,
The Raven and the Reaping on Solid State in 2008. From their re-formation to the time the album hit the streets,
the Famine -- Chris McCaddon, Mark Garza, and Andy Godwin -- would find themselves shifting from a musical reunion of friends to a full-time, full-on recording and touring outfit by 2008. ~ Chris True
