   About Hope for the Dying
Since forming in November of 2006, Jonesboro, IL band Hope for the Dying has been doing things their way and getting the job done. When Josh, James, Jack, Ryan and Jesse pile into their van and hit the road for their DIY tours, their single-minded tenacity takes over. The band's doggedness has propelled them through grueling DIY tours in support of their self-titled album (April 08), including 8 shows in 6 days at the 2008 Cornerstone Music Festival. The band's craving to win "the battle for metal supremacy" demands that they carry on even in the worst of traveling circumstances, which can sometimes mean below-freezing temperatures without a working heater. Hope for the Dying have a love of their craft that catapults them out of their local scene and has them "constantly traveling the land in search of new places to conquer."

With models ranging from Iron Maiden and Queensryche to Unearth and All That Remains, the members boast the "bringing together of influences as vast as the seven seas, ranging from the metal of years past to the modern kings of metal that reign today." By combining their superior individual abilities and unique musicianship to produce the 80s influenced progressive metal fans have come to expect, Hope for the Dying prove the sincerity behind their determination to push forward into previously uncharted territory.

Hope for the Dying released their debut self-titled full length with Strikefirst Records in November 2008.

Hey[!]
thank u for friendship...

Have magically awesome day & don’t dare to be serious...[lol] cause u must love the moment, although flowers grow out of dark moments, therefore, each moment is vital & it affects the whole & life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed...in colorful way....[lol]
Remember that life is like a hot bath- it feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get[hahahh]

Much <3 & big „bear” hugs[!!!]
