And combined with <em>Tajs</em>' expert guitar +sawing and <em>Bent</em>'s drum beating sprees you have an old-school, yet inventive +band which draws its influences from both the technical masterpieces of our brother +country Sweden and the old-school American death metal sound. +</p> +<p> +Thus, DIE was formed. +</p> +<p> +A home-produced demo track called Life Eraser was recorded during April 2005. This +was the very first song to be concieved from DIE. The band decided that a 3-track +demo should be recorded as soon as new compositions fell in place. +</p> +<p> +Soon hereafter <em>Rasmus</em> joined the band on guitar and <em>Jonas</em> +joined in on bass. With the band now consisting of 5 members, they decided to +record the demo Relentless Pain holding the songs Bone Crusher, Relentless Pain +and Life Eraser(re-recorded solo version). The final demo was printed and +released to the public during autumn of 2005. It was well recieved by critics. +</p> +<p> +After releasing the Relentless Pain demo, throughout 2006 the band focused all +their energy on developing their new style, going in a much more brutal and +technical direction. The compositions follows the same musical principles, but +adds a lot of technical creativity and speed. +</p> +<p> +2006 was also the year, when DIE performed their first live gig at Musikcaféen +in Aarhus. This marked an important time in DIE's history, as they proved that +they can actually perform their songs live. Soon followed a concert arranged at +the biggest danish metal festival Aalborg Metal Festival, and soon after that a +concert at Fabriken in Aarhus. +</p> +<p> +In January 2007 the band released another single containing the song Mors Et Sanguis. +They decided to record this one-track demo to demonstrate the current style of the +band. A style which will be demonstrated to its full potential on the planned debut +full-length. +</p> +<p> +Around August 2007 DIE entered the studio to begin recording its debut album entitled +<em>Rise of the Rotten</em>. The album has a release date of "When it's done", and +promises to deliver some of the most brutal danish death metal to date. +</p> +<p> +In the beginning of 2008 longtime member <em>Simon</em> decided to leave DIE to +focus on his other band <em>Fairytale Abuse</em> and his family. <em>Simon</em> has +helped shape the sound of DIE since the very beginning of the bands' history, so +it was sad to see him go. He left on good terms and is still a very good friend of +the band.<br/> +Soon hereafter the band began searching for a suitable replacement for <em>Simon</em> +which was found in <em>Søren Christensen</em> who joined the band in may 2008.<br/> +<em>Søren</em> will be featured on the upcoming <em>Rise of the Rotten</em> album. +</p> +<p style="text-align: right"> +// Written by Lars Bisballe +</p> +<p style="height: 30px;" /> +<p style="font-size: 0.8em"> + <em>Explicit permission to use this text for any press related activity is hereby granted to anyone interested. + This includes the use of the biography on third party internet sites.</em><br/> + If in doubt, feel free to contact <a href="mailto:info@executionroom.com">info@executionroom.com</a>. +</p> |
