 They had a band in high school named "All For Nothing".Leviathan formed after lengthy auditions for a guitarist and drummer beginning in July 2001, and ending in March 2002, since it was especially hard to organize a group after the September 11th attacks in New York.After practicing with Mike Otero and Danny Rivera for three months, the band decided to record a demo at Spike Recording with the help of engineer/producer Matt Chiravalle, who had worked with Kittie and Warren Zevon.
