Abstracted from Shout!'s The Pit archives - August 2008 Issue -
(Shout! is taking a new direction with the zine
and will no longer be publishing Pit pieces.)
When a dear friend of mine linked me up to one of Your Chance To Die’s youtube videos, my very first thought was “please don’t let it be another one of those pretty but talentless bands”. But oh boy, was I in for a shocker. They may look like your ordinary South Carolina rockers, but don’t let the looks fool you!
Formed in February of 2007, this female fronted band is a nice blend of metal and hardcore with a little pinch of death metal. If you like heavy metal breakdowns and adventurous yet technical guitar solos, Your Chance To Die is the band for you.
Guitarists Adam and Coca, both professionally trained with classical and power metal roots, radiate brain busting yet melodic guitar riffs. This is accompanied by machine-like drums that exude adrenaline and speed that leaves listeners no choice but to get their headbangs on! Missi has a growl like no other. Her vocal range is much lower than most female metal front women and is a force to be reckoned with. If vocal ability was a sporting race, this little missy ought to be wearing shorts that read: “EAT MY DUST!”
Your Chance To Die is currently on a hunt for a new guitarist. Details on auditions for a slot in the band can be found on their myspace blog.
Their demo consisting of 4 songs are free for download from their myspace page and also distributed out during their shows. A full length album is in the works and is expected to be released in the fall.
