Spiral Eye was conceptualized by guitarist Jeremy Evett in 2011 and endured several lineup changes before making their live debut as a three-piece instrumental band in 2018. Since then, they have played with numerous national acts, including Archspire, Omnium Gatherum, I Am Morbid, Warbringer, Inferi, Virvum, Black Crown Initiate, and more.

Jeremy and drummer, David Evett began jamming in 2014 and they gravitated towards a more heavy and complex sound, combining the complexity and precision of progressive metal with the aggression and groove of death metal. In 2018, they met their current vocalist, Devin "Ninja" Procella, at the Battle for Summer Slaughter in Austin, Texas.
