After performing in various school group, the two joined to create music with a 'heavier' sound. In search for a bassist, Bann later joined the band.

The name Slothrust came together as a combination of Wellbaum's former project 'Slothbox' and 'rust' to signify time passing.

2016-Present: Everyone Else

On July 7, 2016 it was revealed that Slothrust were signing to Dangerbird Records. Wellbaum stated, “We are so excited to be working with Dangerbird Records on this album. They are a label that cares about creative risks and creating a space for artists to grow and evolve. This record has been a long time coming and we are psyched to finally share it with the world.”

The band premiered several tracks that lead to the release of their third full-length album, Everyone Else. The first single, 'Horseshoe Crab', premiered via Noisey on August 10, 2016, was explained as 'a dark narrative about love, loss, growing up, depression, and existential anxiety'. Slothrust later shared 'Like A Child Hiding Behind You Tombstone', and 'Horseshoe Crab'.

Everyone Else debuted on October 28, 2016. The new record is described as less angry and closely relating to dreams and the water, 'Of Course You Do, as well as the one before that, Feels Your Pain, are a bit angrier. When you write songs earlier in your life—depending on where you’re at—the likelihood of them being angsty is higher,' Wellbaum explained to Out Magazine, 'This record I don’t think is angry in the same way. It asks more questions...[Everyone Else] has space for interpretation and for questions. And the new record deals very specifically with water and dreams in a way that the first two did not.'

Kicking off the release of Everyone Else, the band announced they a tour with rock band Highly Suspect in the fall of 2016. Additionally, the band celebrated the new album with a sold out headline show at Brooklyn's Rough Trade music store/venue on November 1st.
