Formed in 1997 with the purpose of establishing a united Texas
Hardcore scene, Will To Live was at the forefront of a new wave of
bands in Texas that would eventually carry the flag of Texas
Hardcore beyond the Lone Star State and aid their local scene in
becoming a hotbed for internationally renowned acts such as Power Trip, Frozen
Soul, Iron Age, Bitter End, and more. Combining insightful, inspiring lyrics with
the unmistakable spirit and ethos of hardcore punk and the brutality of death
metal breakdowns, Will To Live has written pummeling anthems that have
earned the band a die-hard following in Texas and abroad for over twenty years.
Now in 2023, history continues for Will To Live. Helmed by Rob "Rob to Live"
Galdamez on vocals, Mike “Fury” Arellano (Spirit Adrift, MOD) on drums, Eric
Gibson on bass, Daniel Austin (Tooth and Claw, Die Young) on guitars, and
Chris “Conflict” Hatfield on guitars, Will To Live returns with new material on their
upcoming album “The Therapy Sessions" – a wall of sound as heavy as any in
the band’s history, but with a fresh, masterful delivery. The lyrics for each track
are conceptually representative of notes from a therapy session. These 8 tracks
encompass 7 stories of individuals surviving firsthand accounts of emotional
abuse, spousal abuse, indoctrination, loss, depression, post-traumatic stress,
etc. The band considers this not only their best performance on record, but also
their most urgent and necessary lyrical material to date – as friends, loved ones,
and society in general continue to battle with unaddressed mental health issues.
