Auckland Death Metal band FINAL EVE was constructed by school friends guitarist Ben Lawrence and drummer Corey Friedlanders during 2003. The band featured vocalist / guitarist Drew Reid of BLOODSPILL and ABSTRUSE on a first set of demos. Subsequently FINAL EVE took shape for live work by enrolling Tristan, of INDISPENSION, on bass and Jon on rhythm guitar and keyboards. The band would then endure a succession of line-up changes.
