Orange County, California melodic hardcore band Ignite formed in 1993 and built a strong international reputation through relentless touring across more than forty countries before their commercial breakthrough A Place Called Home (2000) on TVT Records. Their catalog, which includes Call on My Brothers (1995), Past Our Means (1996), Our Darkest Days (2006), and A War Against You (2016) — which charted at number six in Germany — is characterized by complex arrangements, Zoli Teglas's soaring vocals, and consistently outward-looking, politically engaged lyrics. They remain one of the most durable and internationally recognized acts in American melodic hardcore.

Die Laughin', channeling the destructive energy of Black Sabbath and 1980s punk into a scrap-crusher sound.
