A Flock Named Murder was born from a simple but powerful idea: to create music that is both potent and honest, unbound by expectations. Brothers Cam and Ryan Mueller first began writing and playing together in 2009, using their diverse influences to carve out a sound uniquely their own. Their goal was never to conform but to express the raw and visceral emotions that define the human experience—through the boundless spirit of creativity.
The band took on various incarnations over the years, initially with the moniker Sovereign, where they became a fixture in Toronto’s metal underground, sharing the stage with bands like
Imperial Triumphant, Rosetta, and Falls of Rauros. After recording their debut album, longtime friend and bassist Sean Shorting amicably departed in 2018, making way for the arrival of Mike Wandy on bass. With this final shift, the band rebranded as A Flock Named Murder and released their first full-length, "An Appointed Time", later that year.
In 2025, the band releases the second album "Incendiary Sanctum".
