Born and bred among the Buffalo, New York USA Alternative-Metal scene,
It Dies Today formed in August of 2001 by vocalist Nicholas Brooks, guitarist
Chris Cappelli and guitarist Steve Lemke, who moved onto bass in the current
line-up. The group created a blend of brutal riffs, punishing breakdowns
but coupled with huge anthemic and driving melodic sections as well.
The band's initial release was the "Forever Scorned" EP which
they took on the road with drummer Nick Mirusso. Soon after, Lemke switched
to the bass guitar and with new guitarist, Mike Hatalak on board, the
guys reworked their sound and were signed to Trustkill Records who issued
the band's debut full-length, "The Caitiff Choir", in September
2004; the album struck a chord throughout the media and consumer alike,
having sold over 75,000 copies and allowing the band to sell out two national
headlining tours with support from Bullet
For My Valentine, Trivium and others.
It Dies Today returned in October 2006 with its second album, "Sirens".
The disc, which featured the Rock-radio single "Sixth Of June"
and the video/single "Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur)", debuted at
#14 on the U.S. Top Independent Albums chart and reached the #174 position
on The Billboard 200. In 2007 they went back on the road alongside acts
like Atreyu, All
That Remains and Machine Head
with new singer Jason Wood while Brooks left the fold to launch his new
band.
On September 15, 2009 the Buffalo, New York-based quintet will release
their third album for Trustkill entitled "Lividity".
