Emerging from the ashes of legendary New Jersey emo band Penfold, The Moirai formed in 2003. The band released their sole EP, "Bury Yourself" in 2005. The band broke up that same year. In the wake of the band's breakup, they released a series of nearly twenty unreleased demos on their website. It's thought that The Moirai's breakup was caused by the idea of a Penfold reunion, which happened the same year.
