Biography

Worcester MA, United States

Bury Your Dead (sometimes abbreviated to BYD) is a five-piece band that hails from Worcester, Massachusetts, United States.

Formed in 2001, Bury Your Dead began as a side project of the band Hamartia featuring Brendan “Slim” MacDonald (guitar) and Mark Castillo (Drums). With the metalcore sound of Hamartia growing tiresome to both Slim and Mark, they started writing less technical songs in their free time. They recruited Steve Kent to play bass, second guitarist Jesse Viens, and Joe Krewko as vocalist and began playing shows in Massachusetts and Connecticut under the name Bury Your Dead. News of their unbridled energy and destructive live show spread immediately around the East Coast hardcore scenes and the band was courted by Alveran/Eulogy Records.

The band recorded and released their debut album titled You Had Me At Hello in March 2002, borrowed a van, then toured in support of it. After several successful tours Bury Your Dead decided to go their separate ways - Mark (drums) moved back to Philadelphia and began touring with Between the Buried and Me, Rich (bass) went back to running his own screen-printing business, and Slim (guitar) began playing guitar in the band Blood Has Been Shed.

After several months had passed, Rich Casey contacted Slim and expressed his interest in reforming Bury Your Dead. They rounded up some of their old lineup, with a few others to fill in, and played some shows before heading down to Florida to play the annual Gainesville Fest.

    These guys peaked with Matt on "Beauty And The Breakdown", with Mike they peaked on "It's Nothing Personal". It will be interesting to see where they go after Mosh'n'Roll. I love almost every BYD song tho. i usually mostly listen to "You Had Me At Hello".

    Pretty sure they're all at their day jobs and recording/writing in their down time/summer? Just my best guess. Wish I saw more of them as well, the last record was awesome.

    Is this band even alive? They've had no activity and I haven't heard anything since I saw them in August 2011.

    Mosh'n'Roll is their best album so far - It's good for them to have Mat back!

    BiohazardGT, I liked Myke, and it was, indeed, quite a shame he got tossed the way he did. He had a different style...obviously, some people liked it and some did not. Those who didn't are happy, now, and Myke has moved on.

    You should hear Myke Terry's new band "The Silent Age", this dude totally did not belong in "Bury Your Dead." If this band stuck with Myke it would be over now or they would have totally killed off their entire fanbase. Check out the band's video and you'll understand - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygVb6pM4-oI&feature=youtu.be

    I don't think Myke was a bad vocalist at all. I think he sounded pretty good (not great). But the songs the band wrote for those two records were just kinda blah in my opinion. Mat's brought back their flame.

    Don't miss Myke at all. Mat Bruso is the heart and soul of this group. The dude's lyrics are amazing along with his stage presence. It might be cool if Mat put his own lyrics to maybe some of the musically better songs from the Myke Terry era but other than that, Myke had his time, the fans spoke out and got what they wanted.
