Left to Vanish is an American metal band formed in 2002 from Philadelphia, PA. With a number of member changes at their initial start, Sean Salm (age 16 in 2002) is considered to be the main contributor behind LTV's work. They released two albums in a 7-year span. Buried Alive in A Grave of Your Own Mistakes in 2005 on End All Music and Versus the Throne in July 2008 on Lifeforce Records.[1] The band had disburst in 2009 right after setting plans to enter the studio to record their 3rd full length album, due to conflicts between members.
LTV remained inactive until December 2016, where they made an appearance on a bill at the Theatre of the Living Arts with The Acacia Strain in Philadelphia with a different frontman, "Will Walker". Quickly after reuniting, LTV produced a single "The Recurrence Pattern". Their 3rd album "Dethroned" is set to release October 2017. The band has stated " We're extremely thrilled the way the writing has turned out for "Dethroned". It took almost an entire year to get back to where we had left off from a writing perspective. I had no idea it would been this good though." - Bryan Little.
