DIE
TO YOURSELF

Die to Yourself, a five piece from Oklahoma City,
is a Christian Metal/Hardcore band that thrives on spreading the Gospel
of Jesus Christ as well as creating intuitively heavy and melodic music.
The name, “Die to Yourself”, depicts dying to one’s flesh and living
for Christ, which has become the band’s mission statement and overall
goal. Deriving influences from bands such as As I Lay Dying, Killswitch
Engage, and Unearth, the band makes conscious effort to write superior
quality music in order to present a sound that can be enjoyable by an
array of different listeners. The band got its start in July of 2005 and
began touring in the summer of 2006. Branching out from their hometown,
touring has led them all across the United States allowing their
nationwide fan base to grow as well. In the Spring 2007 series of
“Uprise Zine,” Die to Yourself is posted in issue 6 as one of the
“Band’s You Should Know About.” Their new found status as “road
warriors” has enabled them to play at festivals throughout the U.S.,
such as Ichthus, Cornerstone, and Foundry Fest. Die to Yourself has also
had the privilege of sharing the stage with such acts as Unearth, A Day
To Remember, Whitechapel and War of Ages. Ryan Leitru, guitar player
for Facedown Records band For Today, commented, “Die To Yourself…honest,
catchy, creative, spirit filled metal.” Over the past four years the
band has gone through stages of progression involving member changes,
endorsement deals (Washburn guitars, Randall amps, Spector basses,
etc…), and studio work (two EP’s and a recent twelve track album). Kevin
Gates at Engaged Audio (working with bands like NeverShoutNever) says,
“Die to Yourself is one of the best bands I’ve ever worked with. They
are tireless in their hard-work ethics and have an ever-present
attention to details. The overall studio experience with them was great
and I would enjoy working with them again.” Though they have faced a
period of re-invention and change, Die to Yourself has persevered in
their efforts to becoming stronger and more unified than ever before.
With the current line up, consisting of Ben Yard (drums), Daryl Yard
(guitar and singing), Austin Powell (guitar), R.T. McFarland II (bass
and singing), and Austin “Keebs” Michels (lead vocals), Die to Yourself
continues on their journey to be a successful band and ministry. Having
just finished the writing and recording process of their first
full-length album, “The Unfading Truth,” they are now planning to finish
out 2009 with preparations for the release of the album and what is to
come in 2010, as well as tours across the Southern, Midwest, and Eastern
states. Assurance in their productive work habits, their drive to learn
all they can, to be their best, and their articulation of positivity in
everything make Die to Yourself a reckoning force. These five gentlemen
have their sites set on serving Christ first to achieve greatness and
are found unstoppable in their efforts. Die to Yourself, with more
exciting things to come, has a very promising future and is definitely
the band to be anticipating.
