young dedicated musicians. Hailing from Auburn, New York (also hometown to Heavy
Metal Gods Manowar) If Hope Dies showed upstate New York that you can mix metal
with hardcore.

In the years since their formation, IHD has progressed into a leader in the
genre of metal based hardcore. A 2002 release on Diehard Records entitled "Siege
Equipment for Spiritual Decline" has sold over 1200 copies to date with only

dealt with.

IHD also takes pride in the energetic and heartfelt approach to their live
performance. Fans of metal and hardcore will know these guys love what they do
when they see them on stage bringing the rock. If Hope Dies has brought their
music and show to the big stage numerous times as they have performed with bands
such as In Flames, Lamb Of God, Soilwork and many more. They also earned their
way onto Syracuse NY's Hellfest 2001, 2002 and 2003 with some of the industries
finest.
