Deadsy is an industrial/goth/nu metal band formed in 1995 by members Elijah Blue Allman, Renn Hawkey, and Alec Pure. They call their sound Undercore. The three of them would be signed to Sire/Electra records in 1996. Deadsy's first album, Deadsy, was released in 1997. They didn't have a bass player at the time so Jay Gordon would fill in on some songs, specifically "Flowing Grower", "Future Years", "Cruella", and "Sleepy Hollow", the latter song featuring Jonathan Davis of KoRn.
During this time, Sire split from Electra as the label was bought by London Records which left Deadsy to be under Warner Bros for a short time. The label allowed the band to leave withfull ownership of their material. In 1998, Craig Riker would become the band's permanent bassist. Deadsy signed to Elementree Records, which is a label owned by KoRn and got distribution by DreamWorks Records. Carlton Bost would join in 2001 as the band's Ztar player, which is a midi guitar. In January 2002, Craig was replaced by Ashburn Miller. The longly awaited Commencement would release in May 14, 2002.
DreamWorks merged with Interscope Records the next year and Deadsy decided to leave the label and sign to Immotal Records in 2006 where they released their second album Phantasmagore in August 22 of the same year. A year later, Ashburn left the band and was replaced by Jens Funke. The same year, Elijah would announce that the band would be going on a hiatus.
This hiatus would last for 13 years until Deadsy would announce on July 14, 2020 that they would be releasing their thirld album, Subterfugue, in early 2021. They would also announce a remaster for Phantasmagore. In 2023, Renn would announce that he would be leaving the band. There were also difficulties with the vinyl repressings of Phantasmagoe that Elijah would apologize for. So far, the album has not be released yet but the song, (study for a protrait of) Napolean In Rags was released in February 8, 2024.
In the course of human events, pinnacle junctures of spacetime produce and bestow the epiphany. The beings whom are chosen, extrapolate this epiphany, thus bringing into fruition the superlative, or the object of ultimacy. There is a coven of warriors who encapsulate the next epoch of this concept...they stand fearless and dutiful at an elite crossroads of the omniverse.
Deadsy is an institution that was developed to purify and primify the human solution of sound and vision. It is adamantly committed to the realization of a comprehensive conveyance of simplicity and complexity's synergistic unions - a sort of "simplexity" or "complicity," if you will. This institution is comprised of five separate entities: academia, leisure, horror, war and science-medicine. These ingredients are the core basis of the Deadsy formula and the keys to the equation of this plight. Each of the members (fraters) has been designated one of these entities in accordance to their natural predisposition and most primal congruencies to best exhibit the root aspects and essential constants of humanization: P. Exeter Blue I...the eternal pupil, Alec Pure...the libertine, Creature, Carlton Megalodon...Man-At-Arms, and finally Nner...the good doctor. The life-breath principle of Deadsy, being the sum of the five parts, is a perfect parallel to the fourth dimension's (time) crucial relationship to the other three, as they are aimless and next to impossible without it...lo and behold, the relentless search of the ultimate.
Woven thick throughout the fabric of this purpose, it is of the most sacred of attributes, being that it is the spirit-provider accompaniment of intensity and extremity on the effervescent quest as pilgrims toward the nether-zone. The foundations of this mantra lie in the Deadsy theosophy of primacy, which emphasizes that in the early stages of life we hold the answers of the universe and life itself. What we covet from that point on is the preservation of that purity and raw knowledge. Incidentally, this institution is utilizing the vehicle of ultra-specific sonics and visuals to challenge, overwhelm, and enchant its followers in hopes that ultimately they too can rate, merit, and place in perspective their avid passions, beliefs, adventures, and rituals in accordance to the grand scale of self. This manifesto having been stated in its entirety...
