The Banishment is a collaboration between guitarist George Lynch (Lynch Mob, ex-Dokken) and programmer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Haze that started in 2011, and since 2020, has also included L.A. based artist/vocalist Devix Szell. Richard Patrick (Filter) and Tommy Victor (Prong) both guest on the album as well. Sonically, this is a brooding, heavy industrial album with explosions of Lynch's bluesy, psychotic guitar licks.
