From the ashes of the band Onera, Justin Christian (bass, guitars) and Craig Simas (guitars, synth) built Vigil to be heavier, and more aggressive but also beautiful and emotional. Joined by Joe Davis to compliment as one of the two bassists in the band, Brandon Phinney on drums and Dave Petillo on vocals. Now, the five-piece announces its signing with the Italian label Argonauta Records.

Statement from the band on the signing: "Vigil’s partnership with Argonauta Records is a perfect fit for what we as a band were looking for. We needed someone to take what we do as seriously as we do, but also realize that what we do is very specific and not the easiest thing to market and sell. The team at Argonauta sees that and really does their best to build up the bands they work with, but also gets them in front of the fans that are looking for this kind of thing. We are very excited to have them as team members for this project and can’t wait to see what else this can create."
