Formed in 1996 by brothers
Christian and Kelly DeVein, Die Symphony captured their
hometown audience in St. Louis by turning the local music
scene upside-down with their unique blend of industrial-edged
rock and live stage shows that rival even the most famous
touring artists. The band's debut album, Foundations of
Malice, released in November 1997, received critical acclaim
from Alternative Press magazine and took the band to New
York’s famous CBGB club to perform during the 1998
CMJ Music Marathon.
Die Symphony released their second
CD, Codependence Day, in the summer of 1999. With this release
the band gained national notoriety when their song "My
Love" was added to the playlist at local radio stations
in St. Louis which resulted in a heavy wave of airplay across
much of the Midwest. The song also aired on stations across
the U.S., from Phoenix’s-KUPD to Miami’s-WZTA
to Boston’s-WBCN and many more. Songs from Codependence
Day have been featured on MTV, reviewed in Billboard magazine,
and in October 2000 the track “I Don't Mind”
ranked 29 on MP3.com’s coveted Top 40 chart, making
it the 29th most downloaded song on the entire site, bumping
platinum selling artists such as Linkin Park, the Deftones,
and Madonna.
In the fall of 2003, songwriters Christian
and Kelly DeVein exit the studio with their much anticipated
third album, The Everlasting Shame. Featuring eleven tracks
that combine hard-hitting rock grooves with melodic pop-like
sensibility, The Everlasting Shame defines a new era in
Die Symphony’s musical journey that promises to be
nothing less than memorable.
