Submarine Fleet formed gradually, one member at a time. Conceptualized in the fall of 2001 by Trance to the Sun and Blade Fetish guitar player Ashkelon Sain who relocated to Portland, Oregon for the express purpose of launching the group. Joined by long-time long distance collaborator Ashe Ruppe of Nocturne~pdx~, The Elysium Facade and d|sekt, the band began to take shape after eventually adding guitarist Lauren McKenzie of Saturnalia Trio in July of 2003. Finally, in August of 2004 the vocal talents of Blade Fetish vocalist and guitarist, Mark Linder, were added on permanent basis.
Ashkelon, who produced Cinema Strange's recent album "The Astonished Eyes of Evening", and has worked with such luminaries as Gordon Sharp of This Mortal Coil and Cindy Talk, released several albums worth of his solo material under the quasi secret name of "Submarine Fleet", which has progressed into this version of the band. The band is currently working on a full length album with newly added drummer Dan Canty.
