It turns out mega pop star Billie Eilish is a fan of heavy music, more specifically early 2000s metalcore from the Buffalo, NY Area. In the early hours of the morning, Eilish posted a quick 5-second clip taken from the inside of a vehicle in which the video is just of passing scenery, but the kicker is she used It Dies Today's classic "A Threnody For Modern Romance" off The Caitiff Choir (Trustkill Records) as the audio behind the clip. You can view the video in our Twitter (or X) replies to the Tweet (or Xeet) below.
Looks like @billieeilish is a @ItDiesToday fan, she posted this to her story 8 hours ago.
Maybe she has already listened to our NEW podcast that is out today featuring Nick Brooks of IDT!

This isn't the first time a giant pop star has shown ties to the heavy music world; Post Malone is famously known for being spotted at hardcore shows and metal concerts, Demi Lovato has voiced her love for bands such as Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster and Lamb Of God, and hell, even recently actor Michael Shannon appeared at a He Is Legend show recently. Albeit not a pop star or anything, but still very cool.
Though you may not enjoy the music these artists make, it is very interesting to see how far this little world of screaming music can reach. Kudos to It Dies Today for the mention, perfect timing too.
Does Billie know the band has recently started things back up? Is she going to attend the reunion at Furnace Fest this year? She certainly was side-stage for Knocked Loose performing at Coachella, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities, is it?
Oddly enough, we also released the latest episode of The Vanflip Podcast featuring vocalist Nick Brooks of It Dies Today, check it out below:

Post CommentBeing liked by a retarded pop star isn't really a badge of honor but good for ITD I guess.
anonymous 12 minutes ago Love that record/song. She's got good taste agreed
It sucks today just as it sucked back then: how to water down one In Flames riff ad infinitum and add emo whining and boring breakdowns to it.
I honestly would like to see her releasing some real rock music instead of the mall/dressing room pop she does. Just out of curiosity.
" It sucks today just as it sucked back then: how to water down one In Flames riff ad infinitum and add emo whining and boring breakdowns to it." This sounds nothing like In Flames lol Clean ur f***ing ears.
oh yeah? play some arise and ruin, burn in silence, since the flood, a dozen furies and graves of valor. then we'll talk
I love this because of how many losers it will upset
all 00s metalcore is at the gates, in flames, dark tranquility, carcass, haunted rip off bands. you weren't around then so you wouldn't know.
She is not. This kid has never heard of Van Halen before yet y'all still think she would know obscure metalcore bands? She probably remembers this band because she saw their merch at Hot Topic 10 or 12 years ago or just looked for a random core playlist on Spotify to look for a cool riff for this video.
Remember kids, those mall pop singers just seek attention, and it worked for her, because you all will spend the day talking about this crap.
That is a perfect record. It Dies Today is damn good. One of the best records in 2004.
who would of guessed horrible artist are fans of ever worse musicians that aren't even around anymore.
Best records of 2004...Obsession, Let in Kowloon, Unbroken,Women and children die first, Everything is alive, Art damage, Funeral of god
"That is a perfect record. It Dies Today is damn good. One of the best records in 2004." ^ LOOOOL What real metal fans were listening in 2004 Wintersun - Wintersun Necrophagist - Epitaph Mastodon - Leviathan Exodus - Tempo of the Damned Behemoth - Demigod Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn Heaven Shall Burn - Antigone The Haunted - Revolver Vader - The Beast Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
"What real metal fans were listening in 2004" LOL if you use the term "real metal" in 2023. F**k off
Wintersun - Wintersun Necrophagist - Epitaph Mastodon - Leviathan Exodus - Tempo of the Damned Behemoth - Demigod Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn Heaven Shall Burn - Antigone The Haunted - Revolver Vader - The Beast Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh ^^^ More than half these bands suck ass. What a dork
Wintersun - Wintersun Necrophagist - Epitaph Mastodon - Leviathan Exodus - Tempo of the Damned Behemoth - Demigod Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn Heaven Shall Burn - Antigone The Haunted - Revolver Vader - The Beast Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh ^^^ Whoa, bro has some serious street cred.
Googles 2004 metal albums...listed the most pretentious out of the bunch
It's 2004. Leviathan by Mastodon is the only album that matters.
what real metal fans were listening to in 2004… I would know, I was there prayer for cleansing - the tragedy glass casket - we are gathered here today chimaira - the impossibility of reason maroon - endorsed by hate a life once lost - great artist dead to fall - villainy and virtue zao - funeral of god terror - one with the underdogs unearth - the oncoming storm LoG - ashes of the wake shadows fall - the war within KsE - the end of heartache
"Wintersun - Wintersun Necrophagist - Epitaph Mastodon - Leviathan Exodus - Tempo of the Damned Behemoth - Demigod Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn Heaven Shall Burn - Antigone The Haunted - Revolver Vader - The Beast Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh" "real metal", Wintersun and Mastodon haha Good one bro What a f***kng jerk
"More than half these bands suck ass. What a dork" Go back to your It Dies Today emo boy looool If you were not around, you will never get what was like listening to Wintersun and Necrophagist in 2004. They were fresh and exciting, nothing sounded like that at the time. These albums changed their whole genres. Mastodon aswell.
"prayer for cleansing - the tragedy glass casket - we are gathered here today chimaira - the impossibility of reason maroon - endorsed by hate a life once lost - great artist dead to fall - villainy and virtue zao - funeral of god terror - one with the underdogs unearth - the oncoming storm LoG - ashes of the wake shadows fall - the war within KsE - the end of heartache" LOOOOOL Terror hahahaha
At least she didn't say she likes Scowl. Oh you like It Dies Today, Billie? Ok, have them open an arena show for you & pay them at least 100K to play it (500 sales @ $200 each - nosebleed seats.) Typical lip service BS & she should be the first big pop star to hook up established underground bands considering she was discovered on YouTube & paid zero dues (not even a demo or shows.)
She is not. This kid has never heard of Van Halen before yet y'all still think she would know obscure metalcore bands? She probably remembers this band because she saw their merch at Hot Topic 10 or 12 years ago or just looked for a random core playlist on Spotify to look for a cool riff for this video. I believe this also. It's like when Demi Lovato says she likes Job for a Cowboy. Out of all the better bands that play that style of music that's the one you like? More like that's the one whose name you heard dropped one time and now you repeat it it for cred.
Demi lovato has been into this stuff for a long time. She was buying Merch from dr acula and he is legend from the MySpace days and came and watched both bands at bamboozle 2008
In 2004, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) was all that mattered.
Can't wait to hear what every other celebrity is a fan of. f*ck this site.
Breaking news: while taking a shit today I listened to another 2004 great record. The curse by Atreyu. Where's my article?
What constitutes as news anymore. I took a shit this morning listening to Meshuggah, where's MY Lambgoat article??
I didn't even see the comment above....f*ck great minds think a like I suppose
Jab killing people in their sleep Also, why a dead person needs a gofundme?
anonymous 4 hours ago That is a perfect record. It Dies Today is damn good. One of the best records in 2004. STRAIGHT UP
"prayer for cleansing - the tragedy glass casket - we are gathered here today chimaira - the impossibility of reason maroon - endorsed by hate a life once lost - great artist dead to fall - villainy and virtue zao - funeral of god terror - one with the underdogs unearth - the oncoming storm LoG - ashes of the wake shadows fall - the war within KsE - the end of heartache" yeah, this was what 13 year olds were listening to. previous list destroys this one.
The only thing I remember about 2004 music was 10 minutes of Botch worship with bands like The Minor Times and Engineer, American Nightmare rip off bands like Killing the Dream. and the decent Charmer by Breather Resist.
i was 18/19 in 2004 and was listening to that list. still am.
"That is a perfect record. It Dies Today is damn good. One of the best records in 2004." hahah Youre 25...shut the f*ck up
