I Shalt Become started as a one-man black metal project by S. Holliman in 1995. Holliman recorded two early releases, Wanderings and In the Falling Snow before ending his project, though the latter remained unreleased, save for a bootleg version released as Birkenau. The project lay dormant until 2008 when the project was resumed and a third album containing entirely new material entitled Requiem was released, alongside an official release for In the Falling Snow under the I Shalt Become name.
