Originally formed in the fall of 2008, Lycus began as one of the very few doom metal bands in the Sacramento area. They played a handful of local shows and released a DIY demo over the course of about one year, but constant line-up changes along with other unexpected obstacles eventually caused the band to dissolve. After relocating to the San Francisco Bay, founding members Trevor DeSchryver and Jackson Heath reformed the band in 2010.
