As the Sun Sets was a metalcore / mathcore / grindcore / deathcore band from Providence, Rhode Island formed around 1999. The band is known for their abrasive form of metalcore that includes death metal vocals, technical riffs and crushing breakdowns. The band can be compared to contemporaries such as Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan and later acts such as The Number Twelve Looks Like You. The band played consistently in the New England Area until their eventual dissolvement on March 21, 2002. The following day vocalist Lex and drummer Jon changed the band name to Daughters. As the Sun Sets released 2 full length LP's, 2 EP's and 3 Demos in their lifetime.
The Original Lineup Consisted of:
| Alexis S.F. Marshall Holland King Jon Syverson Joseph Krewko Mike Cardoso |
Some interesting information about this band is that original member Joe Krewko, joined Massachusetts metalcore band Blood Has Been Shed for a short time after leaving As the Sun Sets soon forming Bury Your Dead shortly after that which may have indicated a desire to go in a different direction from making technical mathcore to doing more simple mosh music. Joe, however did reunite with his former As the Sun Set mates to release a EP under the band name Crippler Crossface titled, Where Did We Put This Dead Horse We've Been Beating (2004).

Overall Each Individual Voice Is Dead in the Silence is my favorite release by As the Sun Sets with 8949 being a close second. This LP is the only LP that really has pure metalcore / death(core) metal elements. The second LP, 7744 and the EP 8949 can be considered as a precursor to early Daughters as it shares much more in common with that musically than it does with As the Sun Sets initial debut record. Absolutely crushing debut album.
