IT DIES TODAY To Enter Studio In April

March 15, 2006

IT DIES TODAY will enter the studio in April to record their new album, set to be released in early September. The band has been locked away in their own personal studio for the past three months, crafting an album that Nick Brooks, lead vocalist says "is a more maturely written departure from strict metal-core. This is everything we wanted to do on the last record, with less emphasis on screaming, and a strong focus on musicianship." The band is recording with famed producer Gggarth Richardson, who has worked in the past with bands as diverse as RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, RISE AGAINST, ATREYU, and THE JESUS LIZARD. The album will be co-produced by guitarist Mike Hatalak. Nick gave a preview glimpse into one of the new songs that deals with the ramblings of serial killer Aileen Wurnos, the female prostitute on whom the movie "Monster" is based, saying, "This is one of our more catchier tunes, ironically. I'm used to writing lyrics that tend to be dark and haunting, and this story really intrigued me." Nick took what is known to be her last words and made a song out of his interpretation.

The band will hit the road once they finish recording the album, their first tour in May, to the U.K. with good friends and fellow Buffalonians EVERY TIME I DIE. They two have toured together before, and always have a good time on the road. Of his fan base in the U.K., Nick says "The kids in the U.K. are always so psyched to see us. They have a genuine enthusiasm and love of music." A week after returning from the U.K. they will begin their own headlining tour with HASTE THE DAY, CHIODOS, and THE SHOWDOWN, followed by a spot on Warped Tour with labelmates EIGHTEEN VISIONS. "We are really pumped about Warped Tour, because we are given a chance to reach a different audience then our usual crowd." The band is known for their dominating stage presence, and has toured in the past with a myriad of artists, including a spot on last year's Ozzfest with BLEEDING THROUGH, and headlining tours supported by TRIVIUM, TWELVE TRIBES, and ALL THAT REMAINS, among others.
