Official press release:
Formed in 2001 in Buffalo, NY, It Dies Today have remained an influential force on modern metalcore. Today, the band teams up with DAZE and Inspirit to release their 2002 EP, Forever Scorned, on vinyl for the first time. Originally released through early metalcore label Life Sentence Records, the six song EP would kick start It Dies Today career, leading to touring with bands like Between the Buried and Me and Alexisonfire, and signing to Trustkill Records for the release of their monumental debut album The Caitiff Choir.
The Forever Scorned pressing features seven variants (info below) with the original artwork and recordings, plus the three tracks from the band’s 2001 demo Let the Angels Whisper Your Name. You can purchase through DAZE now and listen to Forever Scorned on streaming services HERE.
The band will also be performing Forever Scorned in full at Hellphyra in New Jersey on July 5th.
On the release, It Dies Today shares:
“We couldn’t be more excited to give the original version of Forever Scorned a proper vinyl and streaming release through DAZE and Inspirit. We’re all huge fans of what DAZE has been doing and are pumped to be the inaugural release for Inspirit. The vinyl variants look incredible and exclusively include our original demo tracks that have never been released. We’re beyond proud of how everything turned out and hope everyone enjoys this blast from our past.”
DAZE label owner Andrew “Lumpy” Wojcik remarks:
“This was a huge record for me growing up, I saw It Dies Today several times at a bunch of my first shows. I remember seeing IDT in 2005 at The Downtown on Long Island and they threw “Blood Stained Bed Sheet Burden” into the set list and at the time I was unfamiliar with the track so I went home and downloaded Forever Scorned and was blown away… I also got Nick’s autograph on a ticket stub haha… One of the best labels of all time, Life Sentence originally put this out in 2002 and I am very thankful to be able to give this a proper vinyl release. Thanks yo.”
