The Convalescence was founded in Spring 2011 in Toledo,OH. Originally, intended to be a side project, but after releasing their first single titled "Extermination" the band decided to make it a full time effort. After spending a few months in the studio they released a five song EP titled "Memories" via Enthral Entertainment and began doing regional midwest tours.

They followed up the EP in 2012 with an eight track album titled "Unmasking The Betrayer".

That Winter the band went back into the studio with producer John Burke and recorded their third album "The Process" which was released via Ferocious Records in May 2014.

The Convalescence continued touring non stop with a two year tour cycle on the album including tours with As Blood Runs Black, Rings Of Saturn, Upon This Dawning, Those Who Fear, Cryptopsy, Disgorge, Erimha, Soreption, Ill Nino, Straight Line Stitch, Motograter, and many more as well as appearing on the Metal Reigns In The Southwest Festival, Summer Stench Fest 2, Toledo Deathfest 2014 & 2015, The Northeast Ohio Metalfest with The Bunny The Bear, Rock The Farm 2015, Murderstock 2015, The 2015 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with Slayer, King Diamond, Hellyeah, The Devil Wears Prada, Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, Jungle Rot, and more, Conquered Chaos Festival, and Dirtfest 2015 with Hellyeah, Coal Chamber, Fear Factory, Mushroomhead, King 810, and more.
