Camel of Doom formed in 2001 as a one man project by Kris Clayton, then aged just 13. In 2002, Clayton recorded and self released two EPs, The Song with Rocks In and Child of the Scream. Following the positive reaction these recordings received through online zines and forums, Clayton decided to recruit a live band. A drummer was soon found in the form of Tom Sadler, Claytons schoolmate. Finding a suitable second guitarist and bass player proved much harder, and several members came and went throughout the next few years. Due to the revolving door of band members, and no funds or equipment to record Sadlers drums, Clayton proceeded to record the first full length, 2003s The Desert at Night, by himself. The interest generated by this release led to requests for the band to play live. Rather than waiting till a full line up to materialize, Clayton and Sadler agreed to a debut performance, leaving them a mere two weeks to prepare a set and recruit band members. Laura Whittingham (a close friend of Claytons sister) was quickly brought in on bass. Another friend, Rosie Potts was brought in to provide saxophone to a couple of late set additions: a pair of Hawkwind covers. Surprisingly, this debut performance went extremely well, giving the band a new springboard to move forward.
