Dirge Within have made the title track from their debut album available for free. They recently finished wrapped up a video for the song “Forever the Martyr” in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I personally think that’s a fantastic name for a song.
Force Fed Lies is due out September 1st, and is being released by E1 Music, and the band is going to be on the “Into the Mouth of Hell We Tour” in September and October with Trivium, Whitechapel and Darkest Hour.
Check out this video, and tell me what you think of Dirge Within. Download their title track here.
