DAYLIGHT DIES Checks In With New Album Update

April 27, 2011

North Carolina's DAYLIGHT DIES has issued the following update:

"Another round of rehearsals for the new album is coming up in May. We're finishing up the last songs and refining everything else.

"From a writing perspective, the light at the end of the tunnel shines bright. Egan [O'Rourke, bass] has contributed more material than previously, so overall the material shines in a bit different light, while remaining distinctly DAYLIGHT DIES.

"We haven't yet booked the studio nor have a release date, but those details will become clearer once the final songs are completed."

DAYLIGHT DIES's latest album, "Lost To The Living", was released in the U.S. in June 2008 via Candlelight Records. The CD features captivatingly dark original artwork from renowned artist Travis Smith, who has worked with the band before and whose other previous collaborations include OPETH, ANATHEMA and KATATONIA.

According to a press release, "With their new album, DAYLIGHT DIES have put forth the most mature and varied release of their career. The lush textures which were introduced with the previous album continue and are greatly expanded upon. Acoustic and clean guitars ride alongside heavy rhythms more prevalently than previously, creating a multi-layered sound saturated in atmosphere and depth. 'Lost To The Living' is a mix of beautiful melancholic leads and harsh dissonant rhythms; despair driven hooks and the overall dark atmosphere you've come to expect."
