Ded - FMFY

Band:  Ded
Song:  FMFY
Album:  Mis•An•Thrope
Genre:  Nu-Metal
Language:  Strong

Recently, as you may have noticed from yesterday's post, I've been falling back into my Nu-Metal trench.  I can't help it man, it's just some of my favorite music, ya know?  The power and energy it brings to the show is just straight up jaw dropping at times.  Sure it can be incredibly disappointing too, but all music has that.

My surprise band that hit me last year was Ded.  I didn't anticipate having the opening band of a show manage to pull me in quite like these guys managed, but I was pleasantly surprised.  What bums me out a little bit is that I'm not the biggest fan of the whole album.  While I love this song and Anti-Everything, the rest of the album falls into the category of bands I don't enjoy as much.  It's been a while since I listened to it though, so I really should give it another listen before I pass too hard judgement.

I do look forward to the next album though, because watching bands evolv in their sound is a freaking blast, ya know?  There's so many little things you can watch come and go while they cut out their sound from the rest of the bands in their genre.  And hey, if they decide to fall into the general generic sound of their genre, maybe whatever they do will be good enough to stand out as the good generic.

Ded - Anti-Everything

Band:  Ded
Song:  Anti-Everything
Album:  Mis-An-Thrope
Genre:  Nu-Metal
Language:  Strong

Straight up, mad respect to anybody who commits to a thing.  These guys wear freaking white contacts like, all the time, or at least dark shades to obscure their eyes.  I wouldn't do that, so props dudes.

These guys were the first act of the show (Serenity of Summer tour I should say) and I wasn't sure what to think about them at first.  They came out and the main thing I kept thinking through their whole set was "Why did Korn pick a band to open that sounds just like them?  A lot of these guy's sound reminds me of the old Korn sound.  Like, the heavy guitar parts of Blind and stuff like that.

That's not bad though.  I had assumed these guys were some old remnant of the early 2000s Nu-Metal wave, but they're new as of 2016.  This gives me hope since that's my favorite era of Metal and anything that inspires bands to get into that sound is good for me.

So anyway.

Ded's show was honestly not too bad.  I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't been way out on the lawn, but it was still pretty good.  I'd probably see them again if they swing by somewhere nearby.  The more I thought about it the whole tour was a really weird selection of people, so having a solid beginning that set the tone of the show was really smart considering.

Check em out, if you like the style of music you should peep the whole album, it's really solid stuff.  Here's the main single though, hope ya dig.
