History
Coliseum formed in November 2003 and has since toured and recorded with relentless abandon for the better part of a decade. They issued a self-titled debut album on Level Plane in 2004, followed by the Goddamage EP on Auxiliary Records in 2005, before joining the Relapse Records roster in 2007 for the release of their second album, No Salvation. Following the release of No Salvation, the band embarked on countless tours in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan, with Converge, High On Fire, Mono, Napalm Death, Baroness, Russian Circles, Torche, Integrity, and many others. In 2009, Coliseum released the “True Quiet / Last Wave” 7” single via Deathwish Inc before disappearing from public view to work on their third full-length, due 2010 on Temporary Residence.Current members
