Sounds Like
"I Died Trying. is not a band... it's an event." -Matt Jenkins
"Superbly stalker-like elements of psychosis & neuroticism have bloody footprints leading back to headfuckers like Today Is The Day & late-90s Neurosis." -Metal Maniacs
"Unrelenting is easy, but to relent is that false security, & IDT give that with that classic horror movie vibe.... hiding in the closet with a sliver of light across your eyes before the door opens & your throats slit." -Terry Means
"Picture Mastodon, Ocean Chief, Yob, Dystopia & Bongzilla.... multiply that by 10 & you have I DIED TRYING." -Michael from S.O.I. Records/EMB
"Their dedication to their art pays off. This is definitely not 3:05 candy-coated pop here. These guys believe what they preach." -Musician Critician
"Above everything - very innovative and strange." -Metal Revolution

Biography. August 29th. 2006.
idiedtrying. has existed for years. To the ear, sometimes beautiful, often joylessly melancholy but most accurately described as horrific. Forever art-damaged. Complete murdered auditory terrorism. To the eye however, all the same can be said and then some. It is the peak of transient delving, purifying one's self by compulsive emotional mutilation. Uncategorical and terrifyingly cathartic. During live performance we severely promote the release of the onlookers with us and we encourage whatever means necessary to achieve so. No compromise. The Devil's Music.
