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.

    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.

    Do any fans actually miss Myke? I'm not trying to start an argument on who the better vocalist is because personally I respect and enjoy both vocalists styles and I like all of BYD's music but Myke seemed to get a lot of hate. And I read the way he was removed from the band wasn't the most favorable way, for him anyway. I dunno, I guess I just kinda feel bad for the dude. I thought he was cool and I liked his style.

    thompsonjohn: There are a lot of people named Eric Ellis that have criminal records. Point me towards a credible source and I'll believe you. And super-pangolin: I extremely disagree with both statements you made. But to each his own.

    Last album was way boring. S/T was the band at their peak.
