About Me

Formed in early 2005 under the name Radius, Kevin Shope and Scott Belcher went about writing music while searching for a drummer. After a long search, an old friend of Scott's from a previous band showed interest in joining. This friend, Tim Maines, was added to complete the unit After countless hours creating music and promoting the Radius name, it was found that the name was too common. So after some deliberation, it was decided that the new name would be gift of dying.
Currently the band is in the recording/mixing phase of their debut CD. They will also be touring to support it in the coming months.
