D.E.A.D. is a local Thunder Bay band consisting of 5 members who play fast music with metal/thrash/punk influences.

Originally called ArseroT, D.E.A.D. was formed in early 2005 when two bands, ArseniK and The Rots, both found themselves going on hiatus due to Kyle (Rots) leaving the country and Dennis (ArseniK) becoming a trucker. The remaining members decided to form a new musical entity and name it after a split ArseniK and The Rots had released a few years prior... thus Destroy Everything And Die was born.

D.E.A.D. in 2009

At this point, the initial line-up consisted of Ed (vocals), Quill (vocals), brothers Turner (drums) and Spencer Mackinnon (guitar), and Ryan Boone (guitar). After playing their first show at Disgraceland, a local venue run out of a house in Port Arthur, Ryan was unable to proceed playing with the band. Realizing that they needed someone to fill the empty space, Zak Bowler (bass) offered to join the band. Spencer got Zak up to speed with the then-current material and afterwards, played their second show at Disgraceland.

Instead of just playing at Disgraceland, the band knew that they needed more exposure. D.E.A.D. wrote fresh new material and started playing at the local bars in the Port Arthur downtown core. On October 31st 2009, the band played The Hunger Cabaret v4, a Halloween-themed event spanning across 3 bars. D.E.A.D. has also opened for bands such as Fuck The Facts, Neuraxis, Fatooth, Toxic Holocaust, Cattle Decapitation, Wolven Ancestry, Woods of Ypres, The Ripcordz, UK Subs, Mudlark and many more.

Currently in recording hell trying to get a demo ready consisting of 10-12 songs.
