It Dies Today is a metalcore band based in Buffalo, New York. The group’s music is a blend of brutal riffs and punishing breakdowns coupled with driving melodies. This mixture has attracted fans of many other musical styles, including metal, hardcore punk and emo.

The band entered the hardcore music scene in August of 2001. The group was formed by lead vocalist Nicholas Brooks, guitarist Chris Cappelli and then guitarist Steve Lemke.

Steve Lemke soon moved onto bass and guitarist Mike Hatalak joined to complete the line up. It Dies Today began to refine and structure its sound into a sort of brutal lullaby. The group signed with Trustkill Records, home to metalcore heavyweights such as Throwdown, Eighteen Visions, Bleeding Through and more.

The popularity of the Forever Scorned EP led to them touring the U.S. with Between the Buried and Me and Alexisonfire.

In the fall of 2004, It Dies Today released its debut full-length The Caitiff Choir. The title and lyrics make several allusions to Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The album explores the theme of moral disintegration of the human mind. Well received by consumers and media, the album sold over 25,000 copies within its first four months. The band soon sold out two national headlining tours with Twelve Tribes, Anterrabae, Trivium and others.

In 2005 Alternative Press named them a “Band to Know” and the group was featured on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball.

and it can't be good news that January of 2007 was when Nick left and Jason was announced as the new vocalist. and supposedly new album in January 2009 (from what i read here.) so that makes it 2 years between vocalist changes before new material. not sure how i feel about that.

new vocalist's screams are better than the last (less croaky), but not quite as good clean vocal wise, bearable though. looking forward to new album.
