Biografia : It Dies Today

Sweetly singing from the jagged rocks, the Sirens call drew the ancient mariners to their death. Though based in mythology the title of It Dies Todays upcoming full length album Sirens is about a very real danger. The Sirens were temptresses Vocalist Nick Brooks explains Everyone in life has their own temptations that drag you down. after being on tour for the past few years we've seen just about everyone in our lives struggle with these temptations, whether it be chemical dependancy, infidelity, or just carnal temptation. Produced by Gggarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Atreyu) with co-production from the bands guitarist Mike Hatalak, Sirens is the follow up to 2004s full-length The Caitliff Choir, which scanned over 75,000 copies in the U.S

The bands sound is still replete with their signature sound of brutal riffs and punishing breakdowns but coupled with huge anthemic and driving melodic vocals and sections. However the new album pushes this sound even further with an arsenal of double bass drum attacks and classic heavy metal style dual guitar blitzkriegs coupled with adrenal fueled choruses catchy enough for radio but perfect for the mosh pit. Speaking on the difference between the new album and The Caitiff Choir Hatalak comments On this one we knew what we wanted to do rather than trying to string together great parts. Nick and I locked ourselves in a studio for six months not only focusing on our parts but demo-ing out all instruments before we presented it to the other members. This focus is apparent through the entire album as Brooks comments on the theme The whole album has very dark overtones. Its everything that has changed in my life since the last album and I believe that thematically, everyone no matter who you are our your beliefs can relate to these issues. One song Damsel Of Death looks for inspiration from an outside source from a real Siren. I somehow stumbled across a quote of what were supposedly the last words of serial killer Aileen Wurnos (whom the movie Monster is based upon). It immediately fit into my mind as a chorus for a song, ironically its one of the catchiest songs on the album.

The Buffalo, NY based It Dies Today which is rounded out by Chris Cappelli (guitar), Steve Lemke (bass) and Nick Mirusso (drums) hover around the average age of 22. The band has been on tour since their inception in 2001 when most members were only 16! This year alone the band will join emo heroes Silverstein on their national tour, appeared on summer 2006s STRHESS Tour alongside Shadows Fall and Poison The Well, have toured U.S. and UK with hometown friends Every Time I Die where they also appeared at the Download Festival alongside Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold and appeared on 2006s Warped Tour for several weeks. Possessed of a stage show full of guitar acrobatics, brooks lunging at the audience for sing-alongs and constant headbanging the band have become touring partners for a diverse group of popular groups through the metal, punk and hardcore landscape. Among those tours was the bands tenure on Ozzfests Second Stage, headlining tours with support from Trivium, The Banner, Chiodos and Twelve Tribes and tours with God Forbid, The Haunted, Machine Head, Bleeding Through, All That Remains, Walls Of Jericho and Throwdown.

The band signed to Trustkill in 2004 where they released their debut full length The Caitiff Choir, whose title and lyrical influence came from the work of Dantes Divine Comedy. National press too notice including Alternative Press naming them a Band To Know for 2005, features in Revolver, Metal Edge, Hit Parader and an appearance as guests MTV2s Headbangers Ball.
