Earth Groans, an American metalcore band from South Dakota, was formed in May 2015. The group's inception was driven by vocalist Jeremy Schaeffer's call to ministry, leading him to form the band with guitarist Zachariah Mayfield, bassist Kaden Burton, and drummer Brady Mueller. Their name is derived from Romans 8:23. Two years after their formation, Earth Groans signed with Solid State Records and released their debut EP Renovate in 2017. The band embarked on extensive tours, including a notable one with Convictions in the second half of which Darkness Divided replaced them. In 2018, they released their second EP, Rahab. Earth Groans continued to release EPs, including Prettiest of Things (2020), Waste (2020), and The Body (2021). On March 3, 2023, they released their sixth EP, Tongue Tied. The band's lineup has seen several changes over the years.
