Your Spirit Dies Announce Debut Album Featuring Members of Zao, The Callous Daoboys & No Cure

South Carolina-based metalcore outfit Your Spirit Dies have officially announced their debut album, My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest, which is set for release on May 2nd via MNRK Heavy. To mark the occasion, the band has unveiled the album’s first single, “In The Depths Of Grief,” alongside a music video directed by Robbie Grantham.

Vocalist Brandon Byars shared his thoughts on the deeply personal themes behind the record:

“The record encapsulates every single thing we’re about. We’re five people who were born in small towns in the South. We were never supposed to leave these places; we were ‘supposed’ to live and die here. For us, the simple fact we’re doing this is huge. We tried to craft an album that stands on its own, and we busted our asses to make it as different as we possibly could.”

He also opened up about the meaning behind “In The Depths Of Grief”:

“It’s personal. 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.”

Adding to the album’s intensity, My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest will feature guest appearances from members of Zao, No Cure, and The Callous Daoboys.
