History
It Dies Today formed in August 2001

Buffalo, New York by vocalist Nicholas Brooks, guitarist Chris Cappelli and guitarist Steve Lemke (who now plays bass). During their formation, most of the band members were only 16 years old. Their initial release was an three-track demo titled
Let The Angels Whisper Your Name, recorded in late 2001. The following year, It Dies Today released an EP titled
