It has just been announced that Technical/Melodic Death Metal veterans Your Chance To Die have joined forces with EMP Label Group (EMP: Underground) and have released “Shadown and Flame” on EMP: Underground Volume One (Sampler). The new song was mixed and mastered by Jamie King with executive production covered by Thom Hazaert and none other than Megadeth’s David Ellefson! The sampler is available now at EMP.

From Camden, SC, Your Chance To Die was founded in 2007 by Coca and Missi Avila as a four piece Metalcore band. After a several of changes over the course of the last nine years, current members include Missi Avila and Som Pluijmer (formerly of Cerebral Bore) on vocals, Ron Dalton and Coca Avila on guitars and Thomas White covering the drums (it appears that they are currently in search of a bass player) and have graduated to a Technical/Melodic Death Metal sextet of fury. Dual, female vocals is unique, especially since there is no clean singing to be heard. Both killer vocalists have deep, gut wrenching growls that would make most Death Metal vocalists tremble, male or female, while keeping their raw and overtly intense lyrics relatively clear and intelligible. Just under the vocals lie earthshaking rhythms and driving guitars. Leads are what make Your Chance To Die technical and melodic. Truly clever riffs and virtuoso level solos are among the best in the business. The more I have listened, the more impressed I have become. Really, really good band with a really unique sound. YCTD has release two CDs to date: Suscitacio Somnus in 2011 and The American Dream in 2013 with the much anticipated Ex–Nihilo due out in Spring 2017 on the EMP: Underground record label. They have also played with touring acts Origin, Wednesday 13, King Parrot, Arsonists Get All the Girls, Beyond Creation among many others and have headlined tours in the US, Central America and Mexico. With EMP firmly in their corner, Your Chance To Die have no where to go but up.
