Hailing from Columbia, SC, Your Spirit Dies channels small-town grit into their full-length debut, My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest [MNRK Heavy]. Drawing inspiration from metalcore legends like At The Gates, Killswitch Engage, and giallo horror classics, the album is a raw exploration of pain, resilience, and growth.
They bulldoze a path for My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest with the single “In The Depths of Grief. Squeals practically choke the groove as the breakdown quakes with impressive force. “It’s personal,” he elaborates. “My mom is seventy-one, and she just got back from the hospital. ‘In The Depths of Grief’ is about watching your loved ones grow older, wither, and eventually die. She isn’t there yet, but she has bad heart problems. When I was a teen, we had our differences. I did the whole rebel thing and got into stuff I probably shouldn’t have. I’m not as angry as I was, so our relationship is definitely better than it’s ever been.”
Formed in 2020, the band built momentum with two acclaimed EPs, earning praise from Brooklyn Vegan and NO ECHO. Their relentless drive shines in this album—a testament to healing through music. Frontman Brandon reflects, “This band saved my life. I hope listeners feel the pain, suffering, and healing within.”
