About MAN MUST DIE:
Formed in Glasgow Scotland in 2002 as a project and quickly signed to Retribute Records in 2003, releasing their first album in 2004 entitled …start killing. Recorded in a low budget studio in Clydebank, Scotland with producer JF Dagenais making the long trip from Quebec to record/produce. Some extensive UK touring followed and the band the went on to become the first UK band ever to sign to US label Relapse Records in 2006, a 2 album deal was done and the first offering the Human Condition (2007) propelled the band onto the European stage with tours alongside Kataklysm, Aborted, Macabre, and misery index. The human condition also saw the band travel to Canada for a month long stay to record once again with JF Dagenais (Kataklysm) for an unforgettable adventure.

It was in 2009 when Man Must Die released what was their breakthrough album No Tolerance for Imperfection, recorded by Scott”the terminator”Atkins in England,UK. Featuring the tracks “Kill it skin it wear it”and “it Comes in threes” which will always be mainstays in the MMD setlists. On the back of this release MMD toured with the likes of Machine Head, Hatebreed, Exodus, Decapitated and Kataklysm.

Some years of set backs with Band members and life in general slowed progression after this release, some line up changes and the band was back in the studio in 2012 to record their 4^th album Peace was never an option. At this point only the founding members Joe and Alan (the MMD writers) remained. The album was recorded By Micheal “Raphone” Allan (now the second guitarist in MMD) in a beaten up studio in the back of beyond in the east of Scotland. The Album was released in the UK with Grindscene records and in the Europe/world wide by Lifeforce records in Germany.

Now 8 years on Man Must Die are coming back with their angriest offering yet, with the most solid line up they ever had and the addition of a permanent second guitarist for the first time, and an insane Italian sticksman. Signing up with most exciting and innovating new label Distortion Music Group. MMD will once again bring the fight but in a bigger way than ever….

Scottish death/ grind powerhouse MAN MUST DIE have released the video for ‘Abuser Friendly’, a track off their new album, Peace Was Never An Option, which features a guest appearance by former SEPULTURA and current SOULFLY vocalist Max Cavalera.

Read what the band has to say about the new album: “This album is by far the angriest yet most diverse one we have done yet, its the next level for Man Must Die, we couldn’t be happier with how its turned out, its brutal beyond the word and yet more melodic and memorable than ever. With Peace Was Never An Option we really focused on the song writing which is really important in MMD’s sound, seems to be bypassed a lot in modern music. All the classic metal is all about the songs, this is what influences us, this is what we do.”

The Scottish band is known for having rigorous titles for their records that express the essence of the releases and the underlying attitude in short. Following …Start Killing (2004) and the two Relapse albums The Human Condition (2007) and No Tolerance For Imperfection, Man Must Die’s fourth effort and Lifeforce debut is entitled Peace Was Never An Option. This is both warning and promise.

Man Must Die were formed in October 2002 and catches attention due to their uncompromising, technical death metal style. On Peace Was Never An Option the Scotts pursue their concentrated approach of modern extreme metal. The quartet is playing fast and furious songs that showcase the practical experience and tightness of more than a decade within the heavy underground as well as the unbroken dedication and ebullient creativity when it comes to death metal.
