Taking The Head Of Goliath

Taking The Head Of Goliath is a Christian death metal band that originated in 2015 with members Jake Martin, Matt Vangsgard and Nathan Sherman. They later added Rhythm Guitarist Rob Blake and became best known when they hired Bassist/Backing Vocalist Luke Renno of the band Crimson Thorn.
The band played their first show at one of For Today's final show. They were also featured on a compilation called Kill the Ill, a Benefit Compilation for Shawn Browning, owner and founder of Rottweiler Records, with whom they would later sign a record deal.
Vangsgard departed from the band on October 1, 2017. They would later announce that Steve Reishus, former Crimson Thorn drummer, had joined the band as their drummer.
The band explained the name of the band in an interview with The Metal Resource: "This name, Taking The Head Of Goliath, represents relentless faith in the power of God alone, fearless obedience to our calling and absolute trust in Him for victory. Like all Old Testament narratives, it is prophetic and points directly to Christ."
