About

Deadguy is an American metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. The band formed in 1994 and disbanded in 1997 then reunited in 2021. Deadguy is considered to have played an important role in the development of the mathcore genre, their album Fixation on a Co-Worker being cited as a classic within the genre by some. In 2006, Decibel magazine included the album in its "Hall of Fame" list. The following bio is taken straight from Deadguy.org: One night in the summer of 1994 Dave and Crispy went to CBGB's in NYC to go see Cows and Unsane. It was hot. Cows (for those of you who aren't familiar) are pretty entertaining, in fact I'd say they should have been much more popular than they were. Unsane had just reformed with Vinnie on drums and the other 2 original guys still playing. They were so unbelievably heavy (and loud) and so unlike the crappy bands in New Brunswick, New Jersey it seemed only natural to go buy all their records and start ripping off the cool parts and making a band around it. Admittedly this might seem kinda lame, but who cares, we just wanted to rock. No one ever believes this story but it is literally how the band started, if there had been something better on TV that nite, none of this would have ever happened. So you're thinking, "Yeah, I guess they sounded a little like Unsane, but not really." That's true, we found that Unsane songs although cool and heavy weren't very hard to play, that's when we discovered a band from Tennessee called Today is the Day (I had bought the cd a few weeks earlier), who we could rip off even more than Unsane. The first TITD album, Supernova, is still one of my favorite records of all time. It's so heavy and evil and the music is so crazy that there wasn't even anything to compare it to.
