Dying Is Your Latest Fashion is the debut studio album by American rock band Escape the Fate, released on September 26, 2006, through Epitaph Records. The origin of the album's title comes from a line in the chorus of the song "Situations". It contains nine new songs plus two songs taken from There's No Sympathy for the Dead . "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché" and "Situations" were released as singles, with music videos being made for both. It is the only full-length album and second release with original singer and founding member Ronnie Radke, who would later be incarcerated and eventually become the frontman of his own band, Falling in Reverse, after getting kicked out of Escape the Fate.

Promotion and release

Escape the Fate released the song "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché" as the first single and later released the song "Situations" as the second single on November 20, 2007, on iTunes, which included "Situations", its video, and the B-side "Makeup" which was previously only available on the Japanese version of Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

"There's No Sympathy for the Dead" and "The Guillotine" were first released in the band's There's No Sympathy for the Dead EP.

"The Webs We Weave" was supposed to be the band's third single on the album but was never released due to Ronnie Radke's departure.

"Reverse This Curse" was never released as a single but appeared in the soundtrack of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and on the Warped Tour 2007 Tour Compilation album.

Following the release of the album, Radke was put on probation for narcotics charges and later violated probation when he was involved in an altercation resulting in the death of 18-year-old Michael Cook. Radke plead guilty to battery charges and was sent to prison for two years, leading Escape the Fate to hire Craig Mabbitt as their temporary lead singer. Mabbit would later become the permanent lead singer and be featured in the band's subsequent studio albums.

In celebration of the album's 10th anniversary, Falling in Reverse played every song from the album during their tour "Ronnie Radke's Three Ring Circus" in 2015.
