Artist Biography
by Mark Deming
Adventurous rock band
Today Is the Day
summon the doom-struck fury of hardcore, grindcore, and thrash metal
while writing and performing with the precision and melodic and rhythmic
diversity of progressive and alternative rock. Led by guitarist,
vocalist, songwriter, and producer
Steve Austin, who maintained a long and prolific career, the group won a loyal audience for their challenging work and
Austin's fractured guitar work. Making a bold debut with 1994's
Supernova,
Today Is the Day added keyboards and electronic elements with 1996's
Today Is the Day, with samples and loops playing an even larger role on 1999's
In the Eyes of God. 2002's
Sadness Will Prevail was an epic-scale two-disc release that pushed their moody experimentalism to the edge, while 2004's
Kiss the Pig
was a severe about-face, a more compact effort with greater physical
impact. Working with a major label more than a quarter-century after
their debut,
Today Is the Day issued
No Good to Anyone in 2020 and made it clear they were just as uncompromised as they were from the beginning.
