The crushing power of 'Unjust God' is immediately felt as melodic guitars intertwine with dark, foreboding orchestrations, setting the stage for an intense journey. The track surges forward with blistering drums and razor-sharp black metal tremolo picking, maintaining relentless momentum throughout. As the energy intensifies, frontman Brandon Byars unleashes a fierce scream: “I stare into the eyes of an unjust god!", a searing cry that leads into a striking, bold clean chorus, amplifying the emotional weight of the track. The song’s unyielding fury and haunting contrast make it a powerful anthem for those who dare to confront the unknown.

Comments vocalist Brandon Byars, “‘Unjust God’ is a song about personal struggle with religion. Along with the title of the record, the idea came from the Book of Job about an individual who faces great personal struggle. However, in this instance the person is pushed too greatly and not only loses their faith, but turns their back entirely.”

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.

Signing to MNRK Heavy, the musicians crafted what would become My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest in Connecticut alongside producer Greg Thomas [END, Misery Signals]. The guys not only leaned into influences as diverse as At The Gates, Killswitch Engage, Napalm Death and Godflesh, but they also culled inspiration from giallo horror classics a la The Beyond. Samples from the latter were even woven into the fabric of the soundscape alongside the screams of Mia Goth from MaXXXine.

“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.
