Founded in August 2010, “We knew John Doe” are playing an aggressive music combining the styles of Melodic Death Metal bands, such as Arch Enemy and In Flames, and Metalcore bands such as August Burns Red, Bullet for my Valentine and As I Lay Dying. Their music occasionally slips into softer genres, to build up contrasts and prevent their music from being too monotone.

They were playing at the national well known „Metal Festival Kopstal“ and the „Food For Your Senses festival“ and were headlining the „Screamingfields 2011“.

They recorded a Demo CD at Heckenmonster Studios in November 2010, which was released on January 1st 2011, and recorded their first EP, A Prophecy, at S.A. Studios in Summer 2011 which was released 10.12.2011
