With The Dead With The Dead

2015, With The Dead were formed by the founding rhythm section of occultist Doom overloads Electric Wizard: guitarist/bassist Tim Bagshaw (also a current member of Serpentine Path) and drummer Mark Greening, a pair once notorious for the sheer brute heaviness of their bowel-shaking sound and early extra-curricular activities that involved excess, injury and low-level criminality. Both have also played together in Ramesses. Completing the triangle is frontman Lee Dorrian, co-founder of Doom pioneers Cathedral, former frontman with grindcore legends Napalm Death and owner of Rise Above Records. With The Dead rides roughshod all the weak sounds of its contemporaries. With its mid-song breakdown and ,,The Cross" oozes tar-black malevolence and by the closing, crashing chords of ,,Screams From My Own Grave", a song of horror that unravels at its own torturous pace, any listener will be left battered on the floor, bludgeoned into submission by With The Dead's musical brutality. A new era is upon us.
