DIETH consists of Grammy Award winning bassist David Ellefson, lead vocalist & guitarist Guilherme Miranda (Entombed A.D.) and drummer Łysejko (Decapitated).
Guilherme Miranda says, “’Animal Me’ represents the breaking of the threshold of what was once thought possible. It’s about reaching that moment when someone has pushed you beyond all your limits, and now it’s time to show them the way—your way. No one can be like you or possess the unique power that lies within you. No lies, no pretense—just the pure release of your own truth”.
Ellefson states, “We had a terrific launch of our debut last year and we’ve been hard at work on new material these past months, so it’s great to drop a new track today just ahead of our shows coming up this month across Europe.”
DIETH will be joining KINGS OF THRASH for The Blood of Heroes tour across Europe this month. David Ellefson will be doing double duty as bassist for both DIETH and KINGS OF THRASH during the tour.
Formed in 2022 in Gdansk, Poland, DIETH released their debut album To Hell and Back through Napalm Records in 2023. That summer the band performed shows across Europe on headline and festival shows such as Graspop, MotoCultor, Metal on the Hill, Vagos and as well as support slots with TESTAMENT and SEPULTURA.
The band made their North American debut as direct support for METAL ALLEGIANCE at the House of Blues Anaheim, CA in January 2024 and performed dates across Europe with KKs PRIEST in July.
DIETH are currently at work on their sophomore album which will coordinate with the festival season next year.
Death thrash force DIETH – featuring Grammy Award winning bassist David Ellefson, Swedish Grammy nominated guitarist/vocalist Guilherme Miranda (ex-Entombed A.D.) and drummer Michał Łysejko (ex-Decapitated) – will release their debut full-length, To Hell And Back, this Friday, June 2, 2023 via Napalm Records!
Today, the band is thrilled to release their new single and bassist David Ellefson’s first ever solo lead vocal performance of his career, “Walk With Me Forever”. The touching ballad – which premiered yesterday via Loudwire Nights – holds very special meaning on this US Memorial Day week, as it explores the intense loss of a loved one and their memory providing the strength to carry on.
The track’s haunting accompanying music video, also out today, shows David Ellefson narrating a story of love and loss, directed by Oskar Szramka and starring notable Polish actors Jan Napieralski and Agnieszka Goździewicz.
Ellefson states about the track: “We’ve all experienced loss and grief at some point in our life, and this song expresses that feeling as well as the gratitude we find when accepting, letting go and carrying the beauty of that person’s life with us as we move on.”
DIETH marks the exciting resurgence of three renowned musicians, coming together as a new musical force after years of silence. Produced by DIETH with mixing and mastering by Tomasz Zed Zalewski at Zed Studios in Chechło, Poland, To Hell And Back represents new beginnings – musically, lyrically and for the band members themselves.
Weaving a sinister thread of unrelenting tech-steeped death metal, rapid thrash bangers and even boasting the first ever lead vocal performance by David Ellefson on a track, the members of DIETH have pushed beyond the stereotypes of their former genres to create an unexpected yet charismatic and dynamic new sonic footprint.
Opening with an entrancing acoustic introduction, first track “To Hell And Back” quickly slams in with a punishing death metal attack. Tracks like “Dead Inside” and “Don’t Get Mad … Get Even!” showcase the thrash-infused side of DIETH, while death metal anthems such as “Wicked Disdain” and “The Mark of Cain” lean diabolical with hair-raising solos and breakneck paced rhythms backed by crushing walls of aggression. Standout “Free Us All” flirts with the record’s pace by blending winding passages and aggression with throwback bass-driven interludes with psychedelic production, followed by “Heavy Is The Crown” – a slow and low grinder featuring stoner metal groove, a swaying chorus and a blues-infused solo. Pensive, powerful ballad “Walk With Me Forever” showcases David Ellefson’s lead vocal performance debut, singing about the intense loss of a loved one and their memory providing the strength to carry on.
Ending with intensely beautiful “Severance”, To Hell And Back proves that DIETH isn’t just another side project or “supergroup”, but rather the collective reincarnation of three renowned heavy metal forces who, by harnessing their own pain and conflict, have delivered an exciting next chapter no metal fan will want to miss!

Death thrash force DIETH – featuring Grammy Award winning bassist David Ellefson, Swedish Grammy nominated guitarist/vocalist Guilherme Miranda (ex-Entombed A.D.) and drummer Michał Łysejko (ex-Decapitated) – recently announced their upcoming full-length debut, To Hell And Back, out June 2, 2023 via Napalm Records. Today, the band returns for revenge with the blistering new burner “Don’t Get Mad … Get Even!”.
The anthemic “Don’t Get Mad … Get Even!” will have listeners’ hearts pumping instantly with its fast-paced, charging rhythms, energetic vocal chants and chunky thrash-infused riffs. The track’s accompanying video highlights that while it sometimes feels easier to make self-destructive choices in times of anger, we can channel that energy into bettering ourselves, both mentally and physically, instead – the best revenge!
David Ellefson says about “Don’t Get Mad … Get Even!”: “The best revenge is being better than you were before. ‘Don’t Get Mad … Get Even!’ is about the champion inside us that helps overcome and rise above the challenges. Don’t get bitter… get better!”
Guilherme adds: “When things fall apart, instead pointing the finger at others, you can turn around, work on yourself, do your best and find your way to get truly even.”
Michał offers one more sage thought: “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream will win – not by strength, but by perseverance”.

Austrian rock and metal empire Napalm Records is thrilled to announce its exciting latest signing – death thrash force DIETH – featuring the iconic line-up of Grammy Award winning bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), Swedish Grammy nominated guitarist/vocalist Guilherme Miranda (former Entombed A.D.) and drummer Michał Łysejko (ex-Decapitated).
DIETH have pushed beyond the stereotypes of their genres to create a charismatic new sound, one rich with inventive guitar riffs, tight drum grooves, technical prowess, guttural vocals and catchy melodies. Seeking new musical projects, the band members came together in early 2022 after being introduced by mutual friends in the music industry, and immediately began sharing creative ideas – shifting things into high gear this year with the release of their debut track, “In the Hall of the Hanging Serpents”, and a blistering accompanying music video.
Following its heavy acclaim and fan response, DIETH knew the only way to move was up, and now plan to drop their debut album in 2023 via new label partner Napalm Records. The album is currently in progress with producer Kristian Kohle at Kohlekeller Studio in Frankfurt, Germany, and will feature “In the Hall of the Hanging Serpents”.
Watch below the music video for “In the Hall of the Hanging Serpents”.
DIETH says about the signing: “We are stoked to announce that we’ve signed a multi-album international record deal with Napalm Records, who will release our debut album in 2023. Their approach to music and devotion to metal made Napalm the perfect, most suitable place for us and our music. Last but not least, we would like to thank each one of you that are giving us this massive support. More info and details about the album will follow soon. Stay tuned!”
Sebastian Muench, A&R, Napalm Records adds: “The term “supergroup” feels overused nowadays, but with the formation of DIETH, it correctly and justifiably describes the coming together of these three extremely talented musicians. The first single, “In the Hall of the Hanging Serpents”, underlines that the debut album could become a death-thrash metal masterpiece. Napalm Records is pleased and proud to partner with DIETH, to establish the band and make the new album a success. Personally, as a lifelong Megadeth fan, this signing is a dream come true.”
Stay tuned for more DIETH news coming very soon from Napalm Records!
