Every Time I Die formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1998 and spent more than two decades developing one of the most recognizable sounds in modern hardcore and metalcore. The band’s identity centered on vocalist Keith Buckley, guitarist Jordan Buckley, and guitarist Andy Williams, with a rotating rhythm section that included bassist Stephen Micciche and drummers Mike “Ratboy” Novak, Ryan Leger, Daniel Davison, and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak. Their music fused metalcore, hardcore punk, mathcore, Southern-rock swagger, and Keith Buckley’s sharp, literary lyrics.
The group’s earliest official release was the 2000 EP The Burial Plot Bidding War, followed by the debut studio album Last Night in Town in 2001. Hot Damn! arrived in 2003 and became an important breakthrough, driven by songs such as “Ebolarama,” “Floater,” “Romeo a Go-Go,” and “I Been Gone a Long Time.” The band followed with Gutter Phenomenon and The Big Dirty, records that sharpened the balance between chaotic hardcore, massive riffs, humor, and rock-and-roll attitude.
Every Time I Die moved to Epitaph Records for 2009’s New Junk Aesthetic and remained with the label for the rest of the band’s career. Ex Lives, From Parts Unknown, and Low Teens pushed the music into increasingly intense and adventurous territory while producing songs such as “Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space,” “Revival Mode,” “Thirst,” “It Remembers,” “The Coin Has a Say,” and “Map Change.” Their catalog also includes deluxe-edition material, the 2015 Salem EP, tribute recordings, and a 2021 split with Cave In.
The band’s ninth studio album, Radical, was released in October 2021 and closed the studio catalog with 16 songs, including “Post-Boredom,” “Planet Shit,” “A Colossal Wreck,” “AWOL,” and “Thing with Feathers.” Every Time I Die played its final show in December 2021, and the members announced the band’s breakup in January 2022. Across nine studio albums and more than two decades of recording, the band left behind a compact but unusually consistent catalog that remains central to modern heavy music.
