IT DIES TODAY: New Album Details Revealed

IT DIES TODAY are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to "The Caitliff Choir", which sold over 65,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. In the producer's seat is Garth Richardson (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, ATREYU),with co-production from none other than the band's guitarist Mike Hatalak. Vocalist Nick Brooks said of the new material, "The whole album has very dark overtones. There are tracks that are based on relationships, losing faith, and then regaining it. It's everything that has changed in my life since the last album." There is also a song that was inspired by the plight of the serial killer Aileen Wurnos, on whom the movie "Monster" was based. "This is one of our catchier tunes, ironically," Brooks said of the track. "I took what is known to be her last words and made a song out of my interpretation of them."

Prior to the new album's September release, IT DIES TODAY will be playing several of the new songs on their summer of high-profile tours and festival appearances, including a two-week U.K. trek with EVERY TIME I DIE, an appearance at the Download Festival, and a month-long U.S. headlining tour with HASTE THE DAY, CHIODOS (June 10 to June 28),THE SHOWDOWN, THE BANNER (June 1 to June 9) and FLEE THE SCENE. West Coast fans can catch the band on two weeks of the Warped Tour dates there. Late July and August will see the band featured on this summer's edition of the Strhess Tour, sponsored by legendary album and poster artist Derek Hess. The trek will be headlined by SHADOWS FALL and will also feature POISON THE WELL in the direct-support slot and STILL REMAINS, with other acclaimed acts such as DARKEST HOUR, BURY YOUR DEAD, HIMSA and SUFFOCATION joining the tour in select markets.
