Your Spirit Dies Premiere New Single & Music Video "Starless" From Upcoming New EP "It Is Well..."

South Carolina metallic hardcore band Your Spirit Dies have announced a new three-song EP, “It Is Well...”, set for release on May 22nd via MNRK Heavy. The band recorded the effort with producer Randy LeBoeuf (Kublai Khan TX, The Acacia Strain).

The EP’s opening track, “Starless,” has been selected as the lead single and is now available, accompanied by a music video directed by Robbie Grantham.

Discussing their mindset heading into the studio, vocalist Brandon Byars said:

“With this new material, we’ve settled into what we’ve sought for several years. The intention of Your Spirit Dies was never to be simply pastiche, but to take the influences that shaped us early on and view them through a modern lens and I think we’ve succeeded. It’s heavy, dark, melodic, and everything that YSD should be.

Working with producer Randy Leboeuf on this project was awesome. We went with a decent amount of demo material to pick and choose from and only really used two or three parts. A lot of the writing came really naturally, and we had these songs in their final forms in a matter of a couple of days.”

Byars also weighed in on the song and its visual counterpart, stating:

“We tried to do a short concept with this release, again utilizing religious imagery. ‘Starless‘ is the first part of a two-part story focusing on the aftermath of those condemned to exist on earth in an Armageddon-like event. To be clear, this is not a ‘turn to God’ story from Sunday school. If anything, it retains a message of questioning and doubt of an all-loving God who’d leave his beloved creation in ‘the starless dark.’”
