'''Trenches''' is an American metal band formed by [[Haste the Day]] vocalist [[Jimmy Ryan (vocalist)|Jimmy Ryan]]. The band announced their hiatus in 2010 before getting back together in early 2012.

==Background==
[[Jimmy Ryan (vocalist)|Jimmy Ryan]], a member of [[Haste the Day]], at the time, decided to depart the band, when they were in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]] on December 30, 2005, doing a concert, where he is a native of the city. The group was formed, when Ryan selected Joel David Lauver to be a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist, Eli Larch Chastain to be a guitarist, Bill Scott to be a bassist, and Phil Hook to be their drummer.

Trenches commenced as a musical entity, in 2007, with their first studio album, ''[[The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole]]'', that released on September 16, 2008, by [[Solid State Records]].<ref name="CR Review">{{cite journal|first=Christian|last=Cunningham|url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Trenches/The_Tide_Will_Swallow_Us_Whole/49087/|title=Review: The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole - Trenches|journal=[[Cross Rhythms]]|accessdate=June 27, 2015|date=October 28, 2008}}</ref><ref name="JFH Review">{{cite web|first=Scott|last=Fryberger |url=http://jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/TheTideWillSwallowUsWhole.asp|title=Trenches, "The Tide Will Swall Us Whole" Review|publisher=Jesus Freak Hideout|accessdate=June 27, 2015|date=September 13, 2008}}</ref><ref name="IVM Review">{{cite web|first=Josh|last=Murphy |url=http://www.indievisionmusic.com/2008/09/19/trenches-the-tide-will-swallow-us-whole/|title=Review : Trenches - The Tide Will Swall Us Whole|publisher=Indie Vision Music|accessdate=June 27, 2015|date=September 19, 2008}}</ref> Their first concert occurred in the city of [[Noblesville, Indiana]], on November 24, 2007.
