Daylight DiesThis band were recommended to me by a few people on another forum. I decided to take their advice and get myself an album... I went for Daylight Dies' current release "Dismantling Devotion" and immediately discovered that it is my kind of thing...
Some info from the mighty Wikipedia...
History
Created by Barre Gambling and Jesse Haff in 1996, Daylight Dies is often noted as one of the first American bands of their kind to exhibit a strong Scandinavian metal sound. The majority of the metal underground first became aware of Daylight Dies with their demo Idle which was released on Tribunal Records in 2000 and featured original vocalist Guthrie Iddings. Egan O'Rourke joined as the bassist in 2001. The band then signed to Relapse Records in 2002 and released their debut album No Reply. Daylight Dies toured Britain, Ireland, Belgium and The Netherlands in 2003 with Katatonia, and the United States and Canada with Lacuna Coil in support of the album. After the tour, vocalist Guthrie Iddings left and was replaced by Nathan Ellis. Charley Shackelford also joined as a second guitarist. In late 2005, Daylight Dies signed to Candlelight Records. They released their second album Dismantling Devotion in March 2006. In June 2006, Candlelight Records announced Daylight Dies will be touring North America between October 20th and November 19th 2006 with Portugal's Moonspell and Sweden's Katatonia. Daylight Dies played to capacity crowds in New York City on July 13th and 14th 2006 as direct support for Emperor. The band premiered their first music video for the song "Lies that Bind" on August 9th 2006.
As of 2006, the band is active.
