The Ascendicate, initially called The 7 Method, is a Christian metal group originating from High Point, North Carolina. Established in 1999, the band entered an indefinite break in 2012. Their work caught the attention of industry professionals Jimmy Ryan (known for Haste the Day and Trenches) and Ryan Clark (associated with Demon Hunter and Training for Utopia), leading to a contract with Solid State Records. Throughout their career, they have shared the stage with bands like Staple, Extol, Alien Ant Farm, Disciple, Project 86, and Pillar. Guitarist Ryan Helm eventually became a member of Demon Hunter and created Damien Deadson.
