Úzkost describes their music as "blackened and doomed death metal" on the band's Facebook page and the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania band has been doing just that since 2010, formerly under the name Slaves BC. In June 2020, the band announced the name change on their Facebook page. The new band name is the Czech word for "anxiety" or "urgent fear", a tribute to drummer/vocalist Josh Thieler's Czech grandfather.

The band retained all current members prior to the name change including:
Josh Thieler - Vocals
Sean Singer - guitar/vocals
Josh Shawhan - Drums
Adam Haller - Bass Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
