History
In 2005, Blake Martin (Lead Guitar) and John Wand (Bass) recruited Justin Lewis (Vocals), Aaron Eckermann (Drums), and Lyle Paschal (Rhythm Guitar) to join their band, which they had originally called Silas. They later changed it to A Plea for Purging. The band recorded a self-titled EP with this line up, and soon after Justin Lewis quit the band.
The band then asked Andy Atkins (ex-With Blood Comes Beauty) to join the band. The band recorded an EP before signing to Facedown Records. Their Facedown debut was A Critique of Mind and Thought, with this line up, before guitarist Lyle Paschal quit.
In 2008, the band then recruited guitarist Tyler Wilson, and recorded the albums, Depravity and The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In 2010, Wilson left, and the band continued on as a quartet. They played on the Haste the Day final tour, along with Mychildren Mybride and The Chariot.
The band announced they would disband in 2012, and recorded an album titled, The Life & Death of A Plea for Purging.
The Quit Your Band and Get A Job Tour alongside As Hell Retreats took place from August 10 to September 8 of 2012, culminating with a final show in A Plea for Purging's hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. This was the last for both A Plea for Purging and As Hell Retreats, with both bands disbanding following the tour. The band, along with several others, are reuniting for Facedown Fest 2017.
