History edit

My Place Was Taken began in 2014, as a project between vocalist Jesus Salaz and guitarist Abraham Barberi.[1] Shortly after the formation of the project, the two added on bassist Helix Nebula and drummer Daniel Castaneda.[1] The four recorded and produced a self-titled five-track EP, which caused the band to gain popularity in the Mexico metal scene.[2] After gaining the notoriety, the band signed with Rottweiler Records, who was home to bands such as Death Requisite, Taking the Head of Goliath, and The Autumn League.[1][3]

Following the band's signing to their new label, the band debuted a single, titled "Imparables".[4] After the single and lyric video debuted, the band released their sophomore EP, titled Imparables.[5][6] Following the EP's release, two music videos for "Cordeo Y Leon" and "Sociedad Demente".[2][7][8] In 2020, it was announced that My Place Was Taken was to replace Broken Flesh on the Hasten Revelation tour, due to health concerns with Broken Flesh's vocalist.[9] The band is set to perform on the tour alongside labelmates Taking the Head of Goliath, Cardiac Rupture, Abated Mass of Flesh, and Crimson Thorn.[9][10]
