Tracing SLANDER and their music career
The duo was formed as a collaboration between Derek Andersen and Scott Land after the duo met during their time at University of California, Irvine as part of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
The duo released their first EP, Nuclear Bonds, in collaboration with Nightmare, on October 13, 2015. The EP failed to chart, and the duo subsequently released three more EPs.
The duo released their debut studio album, Thrive, on September 22, 2022. The album, a self-released concept album about a lone astronaut in search of a second home for humanity in the near future, failed to chart as well.
