The band signed to Trustkill shortly after that, and began to work on their debut album Sundowning to be released on their new label. In May 2006 the album was released and received a very warm reception. Larger magazines including Alternative Press, Metal Hammer, and Rock Sound started featuring the small-time Long Island band, creating a rise in popularity. Their slow rise to fame was also due to their non-stop touring. In 2006 and 2007, This Is Hell participated in the Sounds of the Underground tour which rivaled Ozzfest . In this tour they played alongside As I Lay Dying , Trivium , In Flames , Gwar , Shadows Fall , Every Time I Die and others. In 2006, they were invited to play in the Taste of Chaos tour and the Saints & Sinners Festival . During this time This Is Hell also toured with Comeback Kid , Endwell , It Dies Today , Parkway Drive , Cancer Bats , Glassjaw , Lostprophets , Bayside , and several others.
