Die Hard oldschool Thrash/Death metal band form Uppsala, Sweden.
In November 2005 Harry (bass) formed a band with the intention of bringing the spirits of the past back to life. The goal was to play old-school thrash metal in the vein of Venom, Slayer, Sodom, Possessed and Celtic Frost.
One year later, after many line-up changes, a band consisting of Harry, Hasse (guitar/vocals), Micke (guitar) and Nicke (drums) started rehearsing. In Febrary 2007 Die Hard entered studio Hell for the recording of their debut-demo Emissaries of the Reaper, which later on was released as a 7” EP by Germany’s Anger of Metal Records.
In January 2008 Micke and Nicke decided to leave Die Hard and were replaced by Håkan (drums). After a few months of intense rehearsing the trio entered Studio Blueflame to record the MCD Evil Always Return. In connection with the release of Evil Always Return Die Hard played at Maiden Massacre Festival in Oslo with Obscurity / Watain / Nifelheim, before once again focusing on writing new material, this time for the upcoming full-length album to be released on Agonia Records in the summer 2009.
