History

On The Might Of Princes began on Long Island in 1998, creating their own dynamic sound, fusing melody and technicality, intertwined with dramatic guitar progressions, fast leads and a tight rhythm section. While the band were by no means the originators of the "screamo" sound, their music would eventually get lumped into the category which would eventually become a prevalent style in years to come with mainstream acts that used to regularly open shows for the band. The move from local DIY record labels to the larger independent Revelation Records was criticized by some of their fans. On The Might Of Princes developed a loyal cult following through consistent touring. On The Might Of Princes disbanded in May 2004 after their first European tour. The band began a short reunion at the end of 2006, culminating expanded re-releases of their first 2 albums, and three final shows in May 2007. In August 2008 they temporarily reunited once again for a few shows.
