Gurnee, Illinois based In Ways That We Could Not seek to set the trend in post-metal/post-rock music, following in the footsteps of fellow Illinois post-metal groups Russian Circles and Pelican. Johnny Dylan (guitar) of IWTWCN about their song/album titles: "Every [title] has a place to it. See, especially on this debut record we have coming up, you have this formula: Band Name, Album Name, Song Name. So for example, for To Fold The Earth In Half, we have "In Ways That We Could Not Burn To Melt Our Grief To Fold The Earth In Half," one big sentence. We intend to continue this trend throughout the album."
