Lord Dying are a heavy metal quartet from Portland, Oregon that play a signature brand of sludge, doom, and even thrash. Founded in 2010 amid a fertile underground scene, original members included guitarist/vocalist Erik Olson, guitarist Chris Evans, bassist Don Capuano, and drummer/vocalist Jon Reid. The band released a self-titled demo EP that quickly sold out when they began sharing local stages with Unsane, Red Fang, Yob, and Valient Thorr. The culmination of this initial stage experience netted a live EP simply entitled Fall Tour in 2012.
