The current lineup is guitarist Chris Towning, lead vocalist Mat Bruso, drummer Mark Castillo, and bassist Aaron Patrick.

In 2001, Bury Your Dead began as a side project of the band Hamartia featuring drummer Mark Castillo and guitarist Brendan "Slim" MacDonald.

News of their unbridled energy and destructive live show spread immediately around the East Coast hardcore scenes and the band was courted by Alveran/Eulogy.

With their lineup in place Bury Your Dead was approached by Victory Records in July 2003 and they signed a deal with the label the following spring, while on tour with Walls of Jericho and Martyr AD.

The band toured heavily in support of the album and on May 10, 2005, filmed a live DVD/CD combo at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California.

Around this time the quintet could be found on artist Derek Hess' nationwide Strhess Tour, alongside acts like Shadows Fall, Poison the Well, and Throwdown.

In January 2007, after a tour with Killswitch Engage and Hatebreed, vocalist Mat Bruso left the band to focus on "more important things like going back to school to become a teacher.

"[5] In March 2007 Michael Crafter, former vocalist of I Killed the Prom Queen and Carpathian, briefly took over vocal duties for the "Don't Call It A Comeback Tour".

[8] The frontman added that the tense and violent gang culture that surrounded the band and their associates, who were all heavily armed, made touring "awkward".

[8] Following Crafter's departure Bury Your Dead quickly appointed Myke Terry, previously of hardcore band Cassius, to perform vocals.

Guitarist Brendan MacDonald had reportedly undergone surgery to repair lacerations to his leg while Patrick suffered a broken arm and singer Myke Terry broke his hand.

The album has been described by some as having a more melodic feel than the band's previous efforts and was recorded/engineered by Shane Frisby and Peter Rutcho who have worked with acts such as Widow Sunday, Hell Within, and Corpus Christi.

In addition, Aaron "Bubble" Patrick rejoined the band to replace bassist Chris Cain, although his absence on the Over the Limit Tour with Evergreen Terrace and For the Fallen Dreams has yet to be explained.

The band posted new songs on the official Mediaskare YouTube channel, entitled "Slaughterhouse 5", "Bluebeard" and "Deadeye Dick" prior to the release of Mosh N' Roll on August 2, 2011.

On March 22, 2019, Bury Your Dead released a new single titled, "Collateral", along with the announce of the sign with a new label, Stay Sick Recordings.
