Death for Life is the fourth studio album by American hardcore punk band Death by Stereo, released on June 7, 2005.

This release is much heavier than any of Death By Stereo's previous work, but it also includes the first ever ballad-like Death By Stereo song, "Forever and a Day", which was also re-recorded for the band's following album, Death Is My Only Friend. The closing track on their second album "Day of the Death" has the same name as this album, "Death For Life".
