This is the last release from Southern California's As Hope Dies and it's my personal favorite record from the band. As Hope Dies is one of my favorite metalcore bands of all time and this is the release that made me feel that way, for some reason this record didn't get the praise it deserved in my eyes though.
They formed in 2000 and broke up in 2003. In 2005 they reformed and released this self titled EP only to part ways again soon after that. I can't find a real bio on them but As Hope Dies played super swedish influenced metalcore with a lot of passion. Check out the track Emotion Over Repetition and you'll see what I mean. This release is one of the last real metalcore releases before the shitty clones and over produced quality took over. Members went on to play in the band Winds Of Plague(who's first release ripped).
Some super sick guitar harmonies throughout the whole ep, don't skip out on it!
