The First Musical Dark Age

The First Musical Dark Age was a time between July 2014 and December 2014 in which Bitter Minds was in it's death throes and all musical activity ceased. The Dark Age was caused by Peter leaving mid-practice during the recording of the Bitter Minds song "For What It Seems (Version 2)" Peter leaving the practice had a direct effect on the band, as shortly after Chris would be kicked out of the band. After recording "For What It Seems (Version 3)" all band activity halted until November 19, 2014. The first dark age is one of the two direct causes of Bitter Minds disbandment on January 1, 2015.

The Dark Age ended in December 2014 when Chris contacted Jacob and invited him to play bass in a new band which would eventually evolve into The Great Unknown.

The First Dark Age is also significant because on July 21, 2014, Jacob rediscovered RuneScape, and his addiction started, which has since lasted to this day (1/28/16)
