Release Notes:
tragedy, passion, anger, violence and hope are just a few of the many themes
that drive the five heart filled members of death in december. For the past six
years, blood sweat and tears were spilled into every song in hope of creating a
revolution like no other.
With honest, straightforward lyrics, driving guitars and catchy anthemic sing
alongs, the Pocatello, ID based band has started a fire in the hearts of
thousands. Having influences ranging from The Refused to Dashboard Confessional,
Story of the Year to The Used, or even Underoath to Norma Jean, Death in
December is bridging the gap between Hard Rock and Pop Punk. Vocalist Ryan
Oliveira's powerful melodic singing and gut wrenching screaming evoke the pain,
suffering and love in the emotional lyrics, which represent the true feeling of
heartbreak and hope.Being unsigned and hailing out of a small suburban town is
no easy tak, but after finding their sound and three new member D.I.D. is ready
to take the world by storm. Already playing Vans Warped Tour, The Extreme Tour,
the legendary Whisky and with hundreds of bands including The Used. AFI, Story
of the Year, Glass jaw, Spoken, Poison the Well, Rancid, NHOI, Mest,Stavesacre,
Simple Plan and Thursday is a huge stepping stone for the young band.
In November of 2005 the guys took a road trip to record their full length album
entitled "A Beautiful Tragedy" at DML Studios in San Diego, CA The album was
mixed and mastered by legendary engineer Don Lithgow, who is most known for his
success with Blink 182, Finch, Papa Roach, New Found Glory and Fenix TX. Ryan
states"Love is everything to me. I think it's the only thing that truly matters.
Whether it's love for music, family, friends, God or a girl. I've felt love,
I've had it and I've lost it. It's a crazy thing-it can make you or break you,
but you can't give up. At least I know that I won't. I will always cherish the
love that I've had and I'll never forget it. The band is such a great way for me
personally to keep halfway "sane" at times. I love the fact that my lyrics will
always be on paper. I can always look at that crumpled up page and remember
exactly how I felt when I was writing them. I guess that is what this band is
about------memories. I think I can speak for everyone in the band when I say
that we all couldn't make it in this town without each other. It's a cool thing"
As the band gets ready for the road this summer you can guarantee every date
will be a fast paced in your face show. Life is filled with many struggles and
downfalls, and if it stabs you in the back, know that you can join Death in
December in a Revolution.
