Band history
Foundation and debut album
Bury Your Dead was founded in 2001 as a side project of the band Hamartia by Brendan "Slim" MacDonald (guitar) and Mark Castillo (drums). As the sound of Hamartia gradually became annoying to them, they began to write less technical material in their spare time. After they brought Rich Casey as bassist and Joe Krewko as singer to the band, they played together under the name Bury Your Dead a few gigs in Massachusetts and Connecticut . Soon they became more and more popular in the hardcore scenes on the east coast, which led to the band being signed by Eulogy Records.
Bury Your Dead released their debut album You Had Me At Hello in March 2002. After a few successful tours, the then band members of Bury Your Dead decided to go their separate ways; Drummer Mark Castillo moved back to Philadelphia and started touring with Between the Buried and Me , Rich Casey (bass) returned to the film printing business and Slim (guitar) joined Blood Has Been Shed .
Reformation and second album
After a few months had passed, Rich Casey contacted Brendan MacDonald and told him that he was interested in reforming Bury Your Dead. So they brought old and new band members together and later played at the "Gainesville Fest" in Florida , where they finally convinced Mark Castillo, who was there with Between The Buried And Me, of the idea of a serious band. Appearances at Hellfest followed .
In July 2003 they signed a record deal with Victory Records and released their second studio album Cover Your Tracks there . The actual recordings for it began in July 2004. All the songs on the album are named after films in which Tom Cruise is involved.
Third album Beauty and the Breakdown
In 2006, Aaron "Bubble" replaced Patrick bassist Rich Casey. Beauty And The Breakdown was released in the same year . The songs on this album are again named after films starring Tom Cruise, but the actions in the songs correspond to those from a selection of children's fairy tales .
In January 2007, singer Mat Bruso left the band to "focus on more important things like going back to school and becoming a teacher".
In March 2007 Michael Crafter (founder of I Killed the Prom Queen ) took over the vocal part for the "Don't Call It A Comeback Tour", but returned to Australia a little later because of homesickness. Finally, Myke Terry joined the band as the new singer in 2008.
Fourth album Bury Your Dead
On the "More Balls, More Volume, More Strength Tour" 2008, Bury Your Dead and others played a. next to Machine Head .
On February 16, 2008, guitarist Eric Ellis was attacked by a spectator during a concert and had to be sewn with 19 stitches on his head.
On March 18, 2008, the self-titled album Bury Your Dead was released for the first time with Myke Terry as a singer.
After Eric Ellis left the band because of "personal problems", Chris Towing was introduced as the new guitarist.
car accident
On 24 September 2008 Bury Your Dead were in a car accident in Ottawa ( Canada involved). Bassist Aaron Patrick, who was driving the car, broke his arm, guitarist Brendan "Slim" MacDonald sustained knee injuries and singer Myke Terry broke his hand.
Fifth album It's Nothing Personal
The fifth studio album It's Nothing Personal was released on May 26, 2009 and has 12 tracks.
Sixth album Mosh´N´Roll
"Mosh´N´Roll" was released on August 2nd, 2011 under the new label "Mediaskare Records" with the returned vocalist Mat Bruso, who left the band in 2007. With him, the band is going back to its strengths in the hardcore genre, which under Mike Terry turned to metalcore. He left the band after 3 years to start a solo career. The album thus ties in with days gone by and albums like "Beauty And The Breakdown" and "Cover Your Tracks".
Trivia
