Design the Skyline is an experimental metalcore band from Corpus Christi, Texas. Formed in 2007, the band originally was known as Extra Large Kids during high school and recorded demo songs while playing in their local area under this name. In 2011, the band gained international attention after being signed to Victory Records with their song 'Surrounded by Silence' and its accompanying video, which was so negatively received to the point where the band gained a considerable exposure. The negative reaction was generally due to the song's key structure and sound changes, as well the band's overt 'scene' image at the time.
The band's later-released debut full-length album, Nevaeh, subsequently featured a completely different sound to that of 'Surrounded by Silence'. Nevaeh was met with generally mixed reviews, though fans of the genre itself were highly critical of the album. Since 2011, the band has gone through an abundance of lineup changes, even leading a short breakup in 2013, but managed to reform the proceeding year. Design the Skyline is currently still active with an almost entirely new lineup, with vocalist Eric Azure as the only original member remaining.
