History
In Dying Arms formed in late 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland the group was founded when a team of friends wanted to start a band similar to the sound of As I Lay Dying. After some MySpace demo recordings and several lineup changes, the first EP, a digital-only release, was released under the title This Is Retaliation independently in September 2009.

After the group completed their first tour in January 2010, the band added guitarist Tim Johnson and a third guitarist Brandon Cook. Shortly after, they began recording their debut album Deprivation. In September of the same year, the band released Deprivation on Matchless Records; the label of the former Chelsea Grin guitarist Chris Kilbourn. Later in the year both Tim Johnson (guitarist) and Brandon Cook (guitarist) left the band with reason unknown. Tim Johnson ended up returning to the band months later.

After the album was receiving positive response within the underground scene, their first single, "Delusions", was released in January 2011. Shortly after the release of "Delusions" guitarist Tim Johnson left the band due to differences in music. In October came the follow-up album, which was self-titled.
