Buffalo's IT DIES TODAY is hard at work on the band's new album, "Lividity", due out this fall via Trustkill Records. The group is scheduled to film a video for the CD's first single, "Thank You For Drinking", next week.

Commented vocalist Jason Wood: "The song's slogan, like a double-entendre, translates into a so-called friend that through drinking on their own accord shows their true personality. For example, a good friend that ends up being an asshole afte getting drunk at a party or bar. The video will be shot on location at a bar the band fequents in Sanborn, NY called The Walmore Inn. The video will feature a friend of the band who's had too much to drink before he even gets to the bar and proceeds to start shit with everyone throughout the song, until the band has had enough and starts a bar fight. The video has drinking, fighting, and some heavy-as-SHIT music to back it all up! Keep your eyes peeled for the video in July, and some webisodes of the writing and recording process from IDT."

IT DIES TODAY's forthcoming CD will be "a much heavier album than 'Sirens' [2006] but keeping with that classic IDT sound that we have all come to love," according to a press release.

Commented Jason Wood: "We're really pumped about this new record! Lividity is a medical term (as I am a huge fan of 'CSI') that means when you die all your blood in your body settles, so where you're lying is a bruise covering that part of your body. Metaphorically, for example, someone whose life is very stagnant or unmotivated. The common theme of the record is going to be character flaws, such as the song 'Nihility', [which is] about nihilism or absolute destructiveness. We've decided to record the album ourselves seeing as we have an amazing engineer (Mike Hatalak) in the band. The plus side to this is that we have endless time in the studio to perfect the record. Now I'm sure everyone who cares has heard the rumors of a heavy record, well, it's true! We're writing a lot more 'Caitiff Choir'-like riffs and we're working on a more raw and ballsy atmosphere for this record. Expect sincerity, passion, and FUCKING POWER!"

IT DIES TODAY will hit the road in August with WALLS OF JERICHO and 36 CRAZYFISTS.

The band's sophomore album, "Sirens", was released in October 2006. The CD was produced by Gggarth Richardson (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, JESUS LIZARD) and Ben Kaplan, and co-produced by then-vocalist Nicholas Brooks and guitarist Mike Hatalak.
