The Autumn Offering is a metalcore band on Victory Records. Reacting against the pop-punk trend that was taking over the airwaves in 1999, Daytona Beach-based metal outfit the Autumn Offering was born. Coming together while still in high school, its members - Sean Robbins (bass), Dennis Miller (vocals), Tommy Church (guitar), Matt Johnson (guitar), and Nick Gelyon (drums) - worked hard to create their own gritty, hybridized version of authentic heavy metal and melodic rock & roll. By 2003, the Autumn Offering had built up an impressive following through frequent regional touring, and next turned their attention to the rest of the country. The band was originally signed to Stillborn Records which is run by Hatebreed frontman, Jamey Jasta. Their full-length, Revelations of the Unsung, appeared in 2004. Subsequent tour dates with bands like God Forbid, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, and Slayer further seasoned the band's live show before the Autumn Offering joined the roster over at Victory in September 2005. An enhanced version of their debut was reissued by Victory in early 2006; the band's sophomore effort, Embrace the Gutter, was released that May. Spring was additionally spent on the road alongside acts like Hell Within, Kittie, and the Calico System. They are quickly making a name for themselves world-wide. In March of 2007 The Autumn Offering announced they will be seeking a new vocalist as Dennis Miller will no longer be with the band. The band stated Miller left on good terms, however many fans speculate Miller may have been released from his duties as he was known for being hostile toward fans.
