Orange County, California's AS HOPE DIES are true legends when it comes to their craft, taking listeners from one end of the human spectrum to another, while creating a sonically methodical weave work of brutal and harmonious rhythm patterns, crushing harmonies, and life ending prose, all with the resiliency of a condemned man going to the electric chair. In the past, AS HOPE DIES have shared the spotlight with such luminaries as CONVERGE, DROP DEAD, CRYPTOPSY, DIMMU BORGIR, and HATEBREED among others... proving themselves worthy of both their present and future successes within the confines of the hardcore, noise, and metal communities. AS HOPE DIES have thrived since the release of their debut EP Birth Place and Burial SiteToday, the band is as world-altering as an atomic bomb, their newest offering a 9 track towering trip through total devastation. More focused and mature than ever before, it is a sincere outpouring of total emotion. It begs for total attention from willing and focused ears, and unlike its contemporaries, its bludgeoning song writing and crushing hooks are mind-numbing. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, AS HOPE DIES debut Album for Undecided is a truly awe-inspiring work from a uniquely formidable band.
