Candlelight Records announces release date for Dismantling Devotion!
Candlelight Records confirms April 10th as the UK release date for Dismantling Devotion from Daylight Dies. It is the second
full-length album from the band, currently headquartered in North Carolina, and officially ends a four-year recording gap. The
near hour-long Dismantling Devotion is a giant step forward for the already popular quintet. With album recording split between
Volume 11 Studios and Techtronic Laboratories (North Carolina), mixing by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Sweden)
and mastering by Thomas Eberger at The Cutting Room (Sweden), the album is already receiving rave reviews from early
listenings. Katatonia guitarist Anders Nystrom says, "I really hope others will be able to share the experience that fills you up
for the loss for words when listening to this album. If Dismantling Devotion would have been released in 2005, it would have been
my choice for the album of the year."

Formed in 1996, Terrorizer Magazine called Daylight Dies' 2003 debut "memorable and engaging."
Outburn Magazine proclaimed, "pristine doom metal."
Digital Metal added, "a combination of dark melody and deathly aggression."

With Dismantling Devotion, the band look to further their already growing profile. Drummer Jesse Haff recently noted "it is
certainly the most mature material we've written to date. For us it is a strong progression that really shows off our emotionally
dark and desperate music; a divers mix of melancholic, melodic and exceedingly heavy songs."

Daylight Dies toured with Lacuna Coil (US) and Katatonia (Europe) in 2003 and are already in the planning stages to hit the
road in support of Dismantling Devotion. Guitarist Barre Gambling says, "I look forward to hitting the road again and playing
our new songs for people, especially after a long hibernation."

Confirmed tracklisting for Dismantling Devotion is: A Life Less Lived, Dead Air, A Dream Resigned, All We Had, Solitary
Refinement, Strive To See, Lies That Bind, Dismantling Devotion.
The album features compositions from photographer Jeff Brubaker
