Brutal, ferocious, tragic. Those words and more can be best used to describe AS HOPE DIES on their stunning sonic debut "Birthplace and Burial Site." From the melancholy opener "A Distant Memory" to the metallic hardcore anthem "Letters of Our Existence," the band takes us on a journey through a whirlwind of sounds both haunting and mind altering. From the first show, the band has been playing in their hometown of Orange County, CA proving to be anything but lightweights. Despite the band's newness, their intense power has enabled them to share the stage with Eighteen Visions, Poison The Well, Bleeding Through, and Throwdown, among other such luminaries. As Hope Dies have proven themselves worthy of both their present and future successes within the confines of the hardcore, noise, and metal communities.
