Formed in 1999 by Sapp, Ginn, and former bassist Jimmy
McCall. Band played increasingly weird death metal for two and a half
years
before adding Simpkins to the line-up and going instrumental. Recorded
the Spatial/Design EP in Dec. 2002, which was promptly released the next
year by North Carolina label Tribunal Records. In 2004, Canvas released their debut LP, Sublimation, again through the Tribunal label. In Feb. 2005,
Canvas signed with Sensory Records (home to Spiral Architect, Gordian Knot, Zero Hour, et al.), who just released the band's second full-length album,Penumbra Diffuse. Slaughtering, pillaging, and world domination to be
released later this year.

So glad to see there has finally been an update! Of course, can't wait to hear the new stuff. I still find myself shuffling through days and days worth of music on my computer and not finding anything exciting, but as soon as CS comes up, i always stop and listen. Everything...just wow, not a bad song out of the bunch. Hope all is well with the band. Take care CS
So I was thinking about how totally world you guys are the other day and it hit me; You guys are pretty much the Dead Can Dance of triumphant universe metal.
have always loved yer guys's music, since the first album hope we can play a show together someday. i can either lay down the crunk with my solo stuff or shred with my band depravity either way it would be an entertaining show
