Source-derived summary

Before Their Eyes is an American post-hardcore band from Findlay, Ohio. The band is currently signed to InVogue Records.

History

Early years (2006–2011)

The band was founded by vocalist Nick Moore in 2006. The band name was taken from Romans 3:18: "There is no fear of God before their eyes." Their second album, The Dawn of My Death, was released October 28, 2008, and reached No. 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Their third album, Untouchable, was released March 16, 2010, and reached No. 22 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. After this album, guitarist Landon Tewers quit Before Their Eyes to focus on his band The Plot in You. Simultaneous with Tewer's departure, Moore parted ways with the band. With bassist Anthony Damschroder and drummer Jarrett Hottman being the only remaining members as of late 2010, the band took a hiatus.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4880294. VIAF identifies the subject as 129512182.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
