They Die are:
Simone Scarani: composer, producer, voice and lyrics
Massimiliano Griggio: guitars
They Die is a darkwave duo born in 2020, based in Italy, with a minimal sound between post-punk, goth and batcave that proposes the sounds of the dawn of the genre of the early eighties revisited in a contemporary key.
The project draws inspiration from the atmospheres of the alternative discos of those years, reworked in the decadence of our days. Like a mantra, the love-death dualism is interpreted as the pinnacle of an existence lived in abandonment.
The first album, “deviant love,” was released in January 2021 on Jetglow Recordings and was quite successful thanks to the two lead singles, “that flames goes out” and “sick boy,” which were highly praised by critics.
A year and a half later, the second album, “emptiness prevails,” was released, this time on the renowned Swiss Dark Nights label, featuring 10 tracks including two singles released as music videos: “single frame” and “Black moon.”
In January 2024, the third album, “black magic,” was released, again on Swiss Dark Nights. Nine tracks were released as singles with accompanying videos: “Our Blood (Clubbing Mix)” and “Call My Name.”
In September 2024, Swiss Dark Nights released the fourth album, “Darkroom Session,” a live studio recording made in June 2024, intended as a snapshot of the band live, with 15 tracks chosen from the first three albums. The video for “Glass Girl” was released in February 2025.
In the summer of 2025, a deluxe edition reissue of the second album “emptiness prevails” was released, featuring the previously unreleased “ghosting rules,” from which the video of the same name was taken.
