DBW's ‘guest vocalist’ album 'D.O.A."!

New Haven, Connecticut's metal outfit DEAD BY WEDNESDAY dares to be different, defies all logic, and throws form and normalcy out the window with their 2015 full-length release produced by Nick Bellmore.

With the upsetting news regarding their former singer, Dead By Wednesday wanted to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive. Through all the turmoil, the band has consistently been writing new music forging forward, but wanted to respect their fans, as well as their former singer, by not just throwing a new face and voice into the mix on a new record. The end result is something truly unique to the metal community - a guest vocalist CD. Each song will be co-written and personalized by a variety of different metal, hardcore, and rock singers with a diversity of voices. And the list of heavy-hitters is pretty amazing! Some of the awesome friends who are confirmed and stepped up to the plate to help DBW out with this project and have even completed tracks are:


Carley Coma - CANDIRIA
Brian Fair - SHADOWS FALL / OVERCAST
Ceschi Ramos - FAKE FOUR INC. 
Kris Keyes - GARGANTUA SOUL 
Rob Dukes - GENERATION KILL / Formerly EXODUS
John Arch - FATES WARNING
Paul Stoddard - DIECAST
AK - FLOTSAM & JETSAM
Sean Danielsen - SMILE EMPTY SOUL
*More TBA...

"The only band that has come close to doing something like this is Dillinger Escape Plan, but they didn't do it the same way. They actually had only one guest vocalist (Mike Paton) on their entire album. We wanted to try something that's never been done before in this fashion. Hip-Hop artists do it all the time, with what they call "Mix-Tapes," where one DJ creates all the beats, but then has different MC's rapping on each track. Sort of like a compilation CD, but with the same band on the entire release, just different vocalists on each track. We wanted to do it this way to keep it interesting for us and buy us some time until we decide on who our next singer will be." - Opus / Drums


The theme throughout the entire album is addiction and recovery, and is dedicated to anyone who battles this disease. It is not meant to be targeted at their former singer, but rather is about the disease in general and how it affects the people around those suffering from it. Moreover, most of the bandmates have a family member that has struggled with addiction, so this topic hits close to home. They want to send the message that there is hope and help out there for anyone who needs it, you just have to want it badly enough. A portion of all proceeds will also go to a recovery program in Florida that uses music to help addicts get better in their journey to getting clean and sober.


"We are hoping to get it out by the fall of 2015 but if not, it will certainly be by early 2016 at the latest." - Mike Modeste / Bass
