Austin, TX based Die Among Heroes is a high volume, high intensity, melodic metalcore band from Austin, TX. Their signature sound is showcased on their self-titled debut album and can be described as in-your-face, yet charismatic. The music has been compared to Killswitch Engage, Trivium, and All that Remains, and is fueled by the melodic vocals of Chase Hughes and the masterful guitar work of Alfonzo Hernandez and Andrew Gonzales. Kyle Reeves’ powerful drumming and Dustin Young’s fluid bass playing round the group out creating a tight, powerful backbone. The sound is aggressive, infectious and timeless, attributes that come across in a big way during the band’s intense live performance. Lyrically, the album deals with themes of war, personal loss, and overcoming tragedy. The tracks were recorded at Monster Music Studios in San Antonio, TX. "Die Among Heroes is not just a band; it’s a way of life. A poetic representation of the unwavering courage it takes to stand for your beliefs at all costs. To live honorably and to always push it to the limit. It is about looking back and knowing that until death we achieved greatness or died trying", said Guitarist Andrew Gonzales on the philosophy behind the band's name. The name has also been considered to have militant themes by some, as represented in songs like, “In The Event I Don't Return,” which pays tribute to the those fighting in wars today. As for the music itself, Gonzales is unequivocal in his response. “The sound is powerful, aggressive and emotional. It is extremely heavy, yet rich in melodic harmonies and has the potential to grow more commercially appealing without losing it's merit." Bassist, Dustin Young adds, "Our music has the ability to grab the attention of diverse audiences. People that don’t like the screaming sing along with the choruses, and your hardcore metal heads dig the heaviness. Our goal with our self-titled album was to give listeners music that would stand the test of time and rival anything in their CD collections. We didn’t want them to buy another local, mediocre demo that they were going to hear a few times and forget about.” Finally, Die Among Heroes’ dedication to making the best music possible is rivaled only by their tireless work ethic in making sure their music reaches fans on a global level. “Currently, we handle and execute our own marketing, design, video production, finances and booking,” says Gonzales. “We are a true DIY band that works round the clock to make this all happen. Although we have been approached many times by people ‘trying to help our career', we are holding out for the right support. For now, being in complete control is what’s most important.”
