Your Spirit Dies Metalcore Band

Your Spirit Dies metalcore band, forged in Charleston, SC, emerged in 2019 as a fierce force in American metalcore. Drawing on the Carolina heritage of boundary-pushing heavy music, they quickly gained attention with ferocious riffs, melodic finesse, and unapologetically raw energy.

The lineup includes Brandon Byars (vocals), Tyler Dorman (guitar), Holden Hall (guitar), Keagan McChesney (bass), and Brannon Crumpton (drums). Their cohesiveness and chemistry fuel the band’s impactful live performances and studio precision.

They announced their arrival with the blistering 2020 EP The Process of Grief, a concise statement of intent featuring death-metal riffing, crushing breakdowns, and melodic accents—a true homage to turn-of-the-century classics.

In 2022, their follow-up Our Saints Drown in Ash expanded their sound. Greater melodic emphasis and technical guitar work elevated their approach, revealing a band confident in balancing brutality with emotional range.

Described as delivering “the best parts of metalcore’s 30-year history” in a vital and timely package, Your Spirit Dies combines Old School Grind with modern clarity—no forgotten breakdowns or self-indulgent tracks here.

In May 2025, they released their debut LP My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest via MNRK Heavy. The album received critical acclaim, praised for layering punishing riffs with melodic choruses and high production values

Guest appearances from Dan Weyandt (Zao), Blaythe Steuer (No Cure), and Carson Pace (The Callous Daoboys) added depth and diversity, showing the band's community-minded spirit

Tracks like “Trenches of Pain” and “Ritual Sacrament” demonstrate their blend of aggression and melody, while infectious hooks like in “Monochrome” and “An Effigy of Failure” reveal a band as accessible as they are brutal

Their powerful combination of melody and aggression has caught ears in r/Metalcore discussions, where fans praise their revivalist but forward-thinking approach.

With a bold new album, tour support from fellow heavyweights, and deep roots in Carolina metalcore, the Your Spirit Dies metalcore band is set to become a dominant force in the national scene.
