DIE was founded during spring 2005 by the members <em>Bent</em> and <em>Tajs</em>.
They had long been playing around with the thought of making a death metal band,
and at this point it seemed appropriate to do so.<br/>
<em>Simon</em> from Fairytale Abuse was a close friend of the band, so he quickly
became involved with this new project. <em>Simon</em> has a way with growls and
screams which suits DIE very well. And combined with <em>Tajs</em>' expert guitar
sawing and <em>Bent</em>'s drum beating sprees you have an old-school, yet inventive
band which draws its influences from both the technical masterpieces of our brother
country Sweden and the old-school American death metal sound.
</p>
<p>
Thus, DIE was formed.
</p>
<p>
A home-produced demo track called Life Eraser was recorded during April 2005. This
was the very first song to be concieved from DIE. The band decided that a 3-track
demo should be recorded as soon as new compositions fell in place.
</p>
<p>
Soon hereafter <em>Rasmus</em> joined the band on guitar and <em>Jonas</em>
joined in on bass. With the band now consisting of 5 members, they decided to
record the demo Relentless Pain holding the songs Bone Crusher, Relentless Pain
and Life Eraser(re-recorded solo version). The final demo was printed and
released to the public during autumn of 2005. It was well recieved by critics.
</p>
<p>
After releasing the Relentless Pain demo, throughout 2006 the band focused all
their energy on developing their new style, going in a much more brutal and
technical direction. The compositions follows the same musical principles, but
adds a lot of technical creativity and speed.
</p>
<p>
2006 was also the year, when DIE performed their first live gig at Musikcaféen
in Aarhus. This marked an important time in DIE's history, as they proved that
they can actually perform their songs live. Soon followed a concert arranged at
the biggest danish metal festival Aalborg Metal Festival, and soon after that a
concert at Fabriken in Aarhus.
</p>
<p>
In January 2007 the band released another single containing the song Mors Et Sanguis.
They decided to record this one-track demo to demonstrate the current style of the
band. A style which will be demonstrated to its full potential on the planned debut
full-length.
</p>
<p>
Around August 2007 DIE entered the studio to begin recording its debut album entitled
<em>Rise of the Rotten</em>. The album has a release date of "When it's done", and
promises to deliver some of the most brutal danish death metal to date.
</p>
<p>
In the beginning of 2008 longtime member <em>Simon</em> decided to leave DIE to
focus on his other band <em>Fairytale Abuse</em> and his family. <em>Simon</em> has
helped shape the sound of DIE since the very beginning of the bands' history, so
it was sad to see him go. He left on good terms and is still a very good friend of
the band.<br/>
Soon hereafter the band began searching for a suitable replacement for <em>Simon</em>
which was found in <em>Søren Christensen</em> who joined the band in may 2008.<br/>
<em>Søren</em> will be featured on the upcoming <em>Rise of the Rotten</em> album.
