UNTIL THE DAYthe metalcore band that made a scene splash in the ’00s, is back. Their triumphant return comes in the form of the video for the brand new single “Burn”. They also appeared at Furnace Fest earlier this month.
“Burn” marks the first new music from UNTIL THE DAY in nearly a decade.
“We wrote ‘Burn’ to be a metalcore thrasher with harmonized guitar melodies, an epic chorus, a crushing breakdown riff, and lyrics about a broken system of justice focused on retaliation instead of restoration,” says UNTIL THE DAY singer Stephen Keech. “Being the first song that we’ve released in nine years, we wanted to put our best foot forward musically but also address an important topic in today’s divided world: The more we try to tear others down, the more we destroy ourselves.”
In other news, UNTIL THE DAY will be playing a co-headline show with OH, SLEEPER at The Factory in Dallas, Texas on December 15.
“Burn” isn’t the only new music on the way, as UNTIL THE DAY is working on a new album, planned for 2025.
UNTIL THE DAY announced his plans to disband in 2011. “We mainly feel as though we have created the best music we can and believe it is now time to move on to the next stage of our lives,” bassist Michael Murphy said at the time in a statement on the band’s web site.
Formed in 2001, UNTIL THE DAY recorded an EP the following year before signing to Solid State/Tooth And Nail. They released six albums on the label, starting with 2004’s “Burning Bridges”.
In February 2014, it was announced that UNTIL THE DAY would reform for one night with its original lineup in May of that year to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the album “Burning Bridges”. The band later revealed that it would record a new album, 2015’s “Coward”featuring both UNTIL THE DAY vocalists— Jimmy Ryan (2002-2005) and Stephen Keech (2006-2011).
