Biography
Deadtide is a Melodic Death Metal band located in New York and New Jersey,
but many people have so kindly mistaken them for being from Sweden. Before
they were a band, Mike (“Mike Metal,” vocalist) and Phil (“Chrome,” guitarist)
met in 2006 in New Rochelle, New York. It began as jam sessions and YouTube
videos. They are two of the very first people ever to upload metal and guitar
videos, which would pave the way for what would become the metal galaxy in
the ever-expanding YouTube universe as we know it today. Now, Deadtide has a
solid lineup of Mike, Phil, Max, Andrew, and Daniel, who have been playing in
bands for 40+ collective years.
With primarily original content, the band has won over the souls of tens of
thousands on YouTube via subscription over the years, reaching millions of pairs
of eyes and ears around the world. Deadtide carries on the legacy of melodic
death metal music with the promise of new, modern sonic contributions. Dead-
tide's carefully-crafted three-song EP Ephemeral was released in 2013 with the
help of Tarik Solangi, who saw something special in them—never having heard
that
kind of metal sound in the area before—spent countless after-hour sessions
of his personal time with them to bring their first novice recordings to life. In the
end, it captures a classic production sound from old-school days, which pays
homage to the birth of the early Gothenburg scene, while crossing the borders
into power metal
at times, and
delivering on
today's demanding
mix of both harsh
and clean vocals.
Now, they're ready
for the modern
treatment: A
larger than life
production . The
big time. The
metal wall of
sound.
