WHORACLE was formed in early 2001 by Alex Measmer (Drums), Matthew Gibbs (Lead Guitars), and Travis Slavens (Bass). Shortly after, Toby Sanders was added to play bass, thus moving Slavens to vocals. Soon to follow was long friend and former bandmate Jeff Sisson to play Rythym Guitar. (2003) After many discussions with the band, Slavens was replaced with Vocalist Issac South. The band went on to play with this new line up, however, it didn't hold up long. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Whora
