Dying Wish’s latest offering ‘Symptoms of Survival,’ captures the band baring their teeth in the face of adversity. Led by vocalist Emma Boster, Dying Wish represents change and evolution in worlds of metal and hardcore. From Myspace metalcore and community centers to massive overseas festivals, cruises, and headlining tours, the mark this band has made is substantial.

Dying Wish’s mission is to foster community. The band works tirelessly to use their platform as a force for positive change, not only just in metal, but also in the music industry as a whole. While interviewing Boster, they expressed how they’ve seen positive changes in the scene over the years, but that it has so far to go in terms of equal opportunity, representation, and the dismantling of archaic systems.

The band’s approach to performance carries punk’s trademark expressive authenticity. If you find yourself in the crowd at a Dying Wish show, you can feel the communal hunger for this kind of revolution. Speaking from the heart is what this band does best. Boster’s deeply personal relationship with their band and with their music are made explicit in their lyrics. They’ve  allowed their personal experiences to be tools for growth instead of letting shame fester and take root. 

We’re very grateful to share this powerful performance from Dying Wish on Audiotree From Nothing.
