Their self-titled album Die! Die! Die! was released in 2005 in New Zealand, with an international release soon after. It was recorded in Chicago's Electrical Audio by Steve Albini. 2006 then saw the release of the four-track EP Locust Weeks. This EP was included in the British release of the album, released by Pet Piranha Records.
The band's second album, Promises, Promises was released in New Zealand in October 2007, and worldwide shortly after. Produced by Straitjacket Fits' Shayne Carter, the album saw the band move away from the more hardcore tendencies of their first record towards a more bass- and drum-heavy sound, helped in part by new bassist Lachlan Anderson.
After touring relentlessly for almost three years worldwide, the band completed their third album Form in August 2009, which was released on Flying Nun Records in July 2010. Form debuted at number 1 on the independent charts and number 19 on the National Album charts. Produced by Nick Roughan, the album garnered critical acclaim as well as saw the band move further towards the sound they began on Promises, Promises. The bands fourth album, recorded in late 2010, is to be released in 2012.
All the band's releases prior to Form are available on American Label SAF Records.
Die! Die! Die! have toured with Franz Ferdinand, Wolfmother and The Blood Brothers, and have played several major festivals around the world including spots at SXSW.

Die! Die! Die! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got to
tell you a story of a sickening atrocity
of slaughter and a horrible frightening monstrosity
They found
bodies torn and cruelly dismembered
such a bloody scene was easily remembered
a lovely princess, everything but shady
you better watch out here she comes
a bloody meat axe in her palms
Sinister Sister
tell me who's to blame
for a wicked demon kissed ya
made you the girl of evil fame
sinister sister
sheer horror's got a name
for a mean seducer kissed ya
without shame!
She was
sweet and innocent, believing in real love
till the bald truth harshly gave her a rough shove
A gallant enticer with a smile so disarming
the true rake unseen behind a perfect prince charming
Rumors were afloat he was renowned and admired
one can't imagine, the putrid things he desired
she made him pay the dues for his plans
a bloody meat axe in her hands
Sinister Sister
tell me who's to blame
for a wicked demon kissed ya
made you the girl of evil fame
sinister sister
sheer horror's got a name
for a mean seducer kissed ya
without shame!
The little lady vanished, her heart out of sight
dark avenger angel straying through the night
bad boys better watch here she comes
a bloody meat axe in her palms
