Lead single, 'In The Depths Of Grief', is an all out assault with screeching guitars strangling the groove as the breakdown rattles with brutal intensity. "It’s personal," vocalist Brandon Byars reveals. "My mom is seventy-one and just got out of the hospital. This track is about watching your loved ones age, wither and eventually pass. She’s not there yet, but her heart problems are serious. When I was a teen, we clashed. I went down a rebellious path, made mistakes I can’t undo. But I’m not that angry anymore, and our relationship has never been stronger."
Across small towns in America, untold stories are waiting to be heard and Columbia, South Carolina’s state capital, is no different. With just over 140K residents, the city may be small but it pulses with an undeniable spirit. Your Spirit Dies taps into that raw, resilient energy, channeling the heart of an underdog and an unyielding drive. After gaining nationwide attention and praise from outlets like Brooklyn Vegan, No Echo and more, the band tells their story with their debut album My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest.
“The record encapsulates every single thing we’re about,” notes Byars. “We’re five people who were born in small towns in the South. We were never supposed to leave these places; we were ‘supposed’ to live and die here. For us, the simple fact we’re doing this is huge. We tried to craft an album that stands on its own, and we busted our asses to make it as different as we possibly could.”
My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest is a defining leap forward for Your Spirit Dies, with standout tracks featuring collaborations from some of the scene’s fiercest voices. Dan Weyandt of Zao brings his raw energy to 'Serpentine', while Blaythe Steuer of No Cure joins the band on 'A Snow In Summer'. Carson Pace of The Callous Daoboys makes an impact on the intense 'Night Pierces My Bones' adding another layer of power to this already crushing album.
With their debut full-length Your Spirit Dies continue to refine their unique approach to emotionally charged metalcore. The album offers a raw and introspective look at personal struggles, spiritual questioning and the weight of loss. As they evolve, the band is steadily establishing themselves as a significant force within the metal scene, with My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest setting the stage for even greater things to come.
