"It Lies Within is raising the bar in metal period. Definitely one of the hardest working bands I know. Fears of Yesterday is a great CD beginning to end. These guys just keep plugging away and I am excited to see some great opportunities coming their way. "

It Lies Within is a brutal, nasty, neck punching and in your face driving at a 1,000 miles per hour Hardcore Metal band from the most pissed off state in the country…and you guessed it…Michigan! Great vocals, guitars are very technical, driving originality on the drums! These guys have played sold-out shows with All That Remains, Times of Grace, War of Ages, Straight Line Stitch, Carnifex, Oceano, Within the Ruins, Chiodos and Asking Alexandria. Happy Metal Monday! Fresh Track: Own the Night"

In the same way that the industrial, blue collar world of Liverpool England spawned the best of the British invasion music of the 1960’s, today Flint, Michigan is THE hotbed of brutal metal music here in the USA. Never before has so much killer local metal music come from the same place at the same time.
“It Lies Within” from Flint, MI embodies everything that IS this maniacal metal movement.
“ILW” has somehow created the fusion of a viscous metal vibe with an intensely melodic sound. Outcome, pure metal madness.
When Matt (guitar) tells us during a recent studio interview on the "Butcher Shop" Radio Show, “… I write some crazy shit”, he’s not lying. Crank up the opening riff to “Kingdom Come”, strike your meanest metal pose and bang your freak’n brains out!
Trust me, get yourself to an “ILW” show, throw your horns up and prepare for the onslaught that is “It Lies Within”.

Bio
Prevailing from one of the highest murder city rates per capita in America; Flint, MI based metalcore act It Lies Within exploded on the scene with their highly energetic live performance and positive based message.
Their long awaited sophomore album "PARAMOUNT" just took the scene by storm charting #7 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #11 on the Billboard Hard Rock Album Chart. The album features some of the bands best work yet and was co-produced by Jonny Mcbee of The Browning and Nick Morris of As They Sleep. ILW will have some big plans coming for 2016.
This highly motivated five piece is on a non-stop path to shed a different light on the metal scene with their creative music writing, positive message and insane live show. Because of this diversity they are one of the most entertaining groups to watch!
