History

A Life Once Lost formed in 1999 in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After the release of their first album, Open Your Mouth for the Speechless...In Case of Those Appointed to Die, on Robotic Empire, they toured with Canadian band The End.[2] After a second release on Deathwish Inc., A Life Once Lost released their third album, Hunter, on Ferret Music in 2005. The group supported the release by touring with Throwdown, Zao, As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, Clutch, Opeth, and Strapping Young Lad, and took Part in the Ozzfest 2006.

In September 2007, the album Iron Gag was released, featuring musical guests Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad, Anthony Green of Circa Survive, and Randy Blythe of Lamb of God. The band supported the album with tours alongside High on Fire, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Saviours, Suicide Silence, and Job for a Cowboy.

The band toured Europe twice in 2008 alongside Himsa and War From a Harlots Mouth, respectively. In 2008, the band headed to Scandinavia and later performed two shows in Russia. In April 2009 the band headed to Alaska for three performances. In May 2009, the band embarked on the You've Got Mail Tour with Thy Will Be Done as direct support.
