A Hill To Die Upon【 4 albums 30 lyrics 】
A Hill To Die Upon is a blackened death metal band from the Monmouth-Galesburg area of Illinois, United States, formed in 2004 by the brothers Adam and R. Michael Cook. The brothers initially founded the band as hardcore project, but eventually started listening to death and black metal, which led them to transform their band's sound. Over the years, various musicians have filled out the band's lineup, which currently consists of the Cook brothers, Nolan Osmond, and Brent Dossett. Signed to Bombworks Records, A Hill to Die Upon has released three albums – Infinite Titanic Immortal in 2009, Omens in 2011, and Holy Despair in 2014, all to a positive critical reception. In 2013, the band also released a stand-alone single, 'Manden med Leen'. Musically, the band is compared primarily to Behemoth as well as Immortal, Naglfar, and Old Man's Child, all of which the brothers cite as among their major influences. The brothers are Christian, but they distance themselves from calling A Hill to Die Upon a Christian metal band. Lyrical themes include mythology, war, philosophy, and despair, with references drawn from the Bible and numerous literary works and authors.
