Black Like Vengeance performed its first show in January 2006 and recorded and released the bands first demo 'All Has Blackened' by November that year. The outstanding quality of the demo led to the attention of the relatively new independent metal label Truth Incorporated Records. With Black Like Vengeance performing alongside the labels main artists Double Dragon and Truth Corroded, it was not long before the band were signed.

2007 was a progressive and challenging year for BLV. In may the band supported US thrash titans God Forbid. However, shortly there after, the band lost their bass player who would be replaced by Steve Cox (ex Vanishing Point). Back on track, BLV entered Complex Studios (Melbourne) to record the bands debut EP 'Empty As The Day' with studio engineer Roman Koester (Picture The End, The Red Shore, Deez Nuts).

With the bands line up and the recording complete BLV would the end the year with a staggering performance at the annual Truth Inc records showcase Against The Grain (Held in Adelaide, the event also featured some of Australia's leading metal acts such as F*** I'm Dead, Pathogen, Terrorust, Double Dragon, Truth Corroded among others). With the EP scheduled for a November release, BLV are ready to take its identity and music to a new level and push the boundaries of what Australian heavy music has to offer. Crushing riffs, shredding leads, and the haunting beauty and sheer brutality of Sheri's voice, 'Empty As The Day' is sure to appeal to fans of Arch Enemy, Soilwork, Deadlock and Lamb of God.
