The band's first EP was released under Psychodrama Records, their own label. For their first full length album, "The Darker Side of Nonsense", Dry Kill Logic signed on with Roadrunner Records and released the album in 2001. The band's second album, "Dead and Dreaming", was released under their current label: Repossession Records.
"Of Vengeance and Violence" is their third full-length album. It was released on September 19, 2006 through "Repossession Records". The international version was released by SPV Records. The album was leaked onto the Internet on August 22, 2006, almost a month before its official release date.

The lead singer, Cliff Rigano, has at one time said that the band will never "jump on the metalcore bandwagon" referering to the rise of metalcore music during 2000 nu metal album with a few nods to other genres, while the second album, with a new guitarist, explored different metal styles a little more. Their use at regular intervals of metal techniques, such as causing the guitar to "squeal" explains people's habit of calling them a metalcore band.

PRIDE
Dry Kill Logic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pride
You don't tell me
That I'm wrong
These secret meetings
Cannot go on
You don't fool me
Don't you see
Filled with envy

Consumed by greed
Your pride has taken me
Away
What was always
For you and I
I have caught you
In demented eyes
Nothing changes
It's all the same
A different story
The same game
Your pride has taken me
Away
Now it's over
Done for good
Because of you
It's understood
Pride
Now once again
This is me at the end
The only one who gave a shit
Your only friend
Unchanged by you
I believe that in you
The only thing that I could do is fucking kill you
Is it really sane
That I feel this way
And all that you can say
Is 'I don't know what to say'
And all that I can do
And explain that the reason that I left is cause your pride has taken me

Your pride has taken me
Away
