I Built The Cross was formed in 2008 by Reed Mitchell and Garrett McGeein (formally of Disfiguring the Goddess, before it was cool). As a small project developed by two 17-year-olds, it quickly and unexpectedly earned a surprising foundation of committed listeners. Seeing the growing following of fans, the need for a full line-up made itself markedly apparent. Shortly thereafter, longtime friend Zakary Campbell joined the group on Bass guitar, at which point the serious search for a capable drummer and second guitarist found a passionate hunt. IBTC has since undergone various member swaps on both the positions of drummer and second guitarist. Finally, in 2011, a committed, able drummer found his way into the group, firmly establishing the current lineup; Garrett McGeein (Vocals), Zak Campbell (Bass), Reed Mitchell (Guitar), and Nate Gillotti (Drums).
Enough about who we are. What matters is what we're about:
Before all else, I Built The Cross is a ministry; our utmost priority is to uphold, represent, communicate, and clarify the person and work of Jesus Christ. Secondarily, we play Technical Metal with a little hardcore influence sprinkled here and there.
We are committed to evangelism.
