Retaliation was formed by Brent Carlton and Joel Stone sometime in 2005. Shortly after, we found Andy asleep behind a Popeye's Chicken, and decided that he should be our guitarist. Then we went on the hunt for a drummer. We practiced with many drummers, but only one of them survived. This drummer was Brent Donaldson (Megatron). Then after months of searching for a singer, we found Manny in a small island nation somewhere off the coast of Africa. From then on it was nothing but bongos, fake mustaches, and sick-ass power metal.
