History
The foundations of Australian Melodic Death metal band, Black Like Vengeance were laid in early 2004 when guitarists Martin Kawaler and Drew Hanley teamed up with drummer Slanely, as Art of Ruin. Initiating bass guitarist Mike Drozdowski and vocalist Glenn, the band played a string of small local shows in the south eastern suburbs of Victoria. In 2004 vocalist Sheri Vengeance (ex Ne Obliviscaris) was recruited as the new front woman and shortly after Christian Nativo (Vanishing Point) took on sessional duties as their drummer. The band established a new name, Black Like Vengeance and played their first show at Melbourne's Arthouse Hotel in 2006, January 28 with Moredhel, The Omen, Synthesist and Earth.

The four track demo was recorded at Complex Studios, in Thornbury, engineered and produced by Roman Koester (In Name and Blood, [|The Red Shore], Deez Nuts, Picture The End) and independently released in a wallet sleeve. The release earned the interest of Adelaide label Truth Inc Records founded by longstanding members of Truth Corroded (Jason North, Greg Shaw) and Double Dragon (Lee Gardiner), the band was offered a contract for their upcoming release Empty As The Day.

Empty As The Day (2007)
Released October 27, 2007, this 8 track full length debut was recorded once again at Complex Studios, in Thornbury, engineered by Roman Koester and co-produced by the band.

Juan Manuel Rueda joins Black Like Vengeance on this record replacing Christian Nativo as a permanent drummer and is one of the key components to the shift in style that took the band from New Wave Australian Heavy Metal to a full out assault of quasi technical death laden melodic/thrash metal. Steve Cox, bass player, (Teargas) joined the band after the release of the album.
