BAND SHARES “WITHOUT HONOR” + “JOY OF TORTURE“
The San Fernando Valley quartet Deadbody —brothers Taylor Young [vocals, guitar] and Colin Young [vocals, Bass], Miles McIntosh [guitar], and Jorge Herrera [drums]—storm out of the gate with an intense vision befitting of our encroaching collective demise on their 2022 debut album, The Requiem.
It arrives October 28 via Closed Casket Activities. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band has shared two singles — “Without Honor” and “Joy of Torture.”
“The idea of the album is the death and mourning of not only an era, but the ego,” notes Taylor. “Regardless of your output, status, goals, failures, or otherwise, the last thing you do is rot or burn. You can’t take any of it with you, so there’s no point in getting hung up on petty details. It sounds bleak, but it’s also meant to be freeing. Let go and move forward.”
The musicians initially breathed life into Deadbody during 2020. The members had made their bones in the underground with Taylor Young a sought-after producer and member of Twitching Tongues, God’s Hate, and Zous, as well as former drummer of Nails, Colin in God’s Hate and Twitching Tongues, Miles in Apparition, and Jorge in ACXDC and Despise You. They wrote and jammed over the course of the next two years, recording in Taylor’s studio The Pit in Van Nuys. Creatively, they nodded to the likes of Human Remains, Discordance Axis, Burnt By The Sun, Assuck, Brutal Truth, and Suffocation.
