Destroy the Runner is a Christian Metalcore/Christian Post-Hardcore band from Encinitas, CA. The band was called Die Like Me until they signed to Solid State Records, on which their debut album Saints was released on September 12, 2006 to mixed reviews.[1][2][3][4][5] The band followed the release of the album with a tour supporting Haste the Day and Scary Kids Scaring Kids.[6] In October of 2007, the band began recording their second LP with Brian McTernan at Salad Days Studios in Baltimore, MD. The album (titled I, Lucifer), is said by the band to be far more progressive than their first effort Saints.
