Album Notes & Community Reviews

The band's fourth album and their second with frontman Howard Jones, 'As Daylight Dies' is a landmark of the melodic metalcore genre. The record perfected their signature formula of punishing riffs and aggressive breakdowns juxtaposed with massive, soaring clean choruses. Spawning the hit single and cover 'Holy Diver', the album became their first to be certified platinum.
