Mike Frisby, Matt Traynort Craig Mabbitt and Jared Warth were the four original members of blessthefall which started in 2004. They released a three-track EP in mid-2005 and added guitarist Eric Lambert to their line up. They toured for while and relesed their first full length album on April 10, 2007 titled, “His Last Walk.” In summer 2007, blessthe fall completed the entire warped tour.

While on their first European, in December 2007, Craig Mabbitt left the band during the United Kingdom portion, for "personal reasons." For the rest of the tour, Jared filled in for vocals as well as playing bass. When Craig came back to blessthefall, the band decided to not let him in and move on without him. On September 25, 2008, blessthefall announced that they had chosen a new lead singer, Beau Bokan, after months of searching.
