History

Formed in 2006 by former members of xDeathstarx, Sleeping Giant released their first record, Dread Champions of the Last Days, in 2007 under Facedown Records. In 2014, they put out Finished People via Century Media Records. Returning to Facedown Records on December 1, 2017, they unveiled their concluding album titled I Am. The band announced a final performance scheduled for February 17, 2018, and simultaneously released the album's lead single, "No Love."

Following the disbandment of Sleeping Giant, lead vocalist Tommy Green collaborated with guitarist Joe Holt to establish the metalcore worship ensemble HolyName in 2021. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2023 through Facedown Records.
