Artist History 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 station KPNT 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.
