DxEx to support EYEHATEGOD

We're stoked to announce that Dead Existence have been announced to support the legendary EYEHATEGOD along with The Gates Of Slumber at The Garage (Highbury Corner) on Saturday 3rd August 2013.
We're particualrly stoked to be part of this bill since EHG have been a band that most of us have been listening to for many many years, and have therefore undoubtedly had a degree of influence on the music we make (and general outlook we have!).
We have a limited number of cheap tickets available for the show so contact us directly to check availability.

Cheers !!

Incubate Festival 2013

We are somewhat chuffed to announce that as part of our impending short euro tour with Liverpool scum-sludge merchants Iron Witch we will be playing at this year's INCUBATE FESTIVAL in Tilburg, Holland. We will be onstage at the legendary 013 venue on Friday 20th September (time TBC).
As well as our Northern brothers Iron Witch and Dragged Into Sunlight, also on the bill that day will be the likes of Immortal, Mayhem, Brutal Truth, Battalius & Age Of Woe amongst many others. As a further added bonus The Death Letter (woe filled blues project of D.E.'s F.Rojas and J.Harding) will also be appearing at the festival on the same day at Cafe Babbus.
We're super stoked to be part of such a killer fest, check out the Incubate website for the full lineup / news etc.:

We've had a little downtime here in the D.E. camp following our killer Scandinavian Misery weekender last month, but we're gearing up to get back into the studio to continue writing and prepare for upcoming shows over the next few months with a slew of our bro's including Dragged Into Sunlight, Astrohenge, Gurt, Wizard's Beard, DKH and War Wolf to name a few, amongst others.. (see shows panel).

New merch is also in the works so get onto http://www.deadexistence.bigcartel.com/ for a chance to grab any of the existing shirts before you miss out for good... (we only have limited sizes left, once they go, they're gone!!)... and as always our filthy woe can also be heard / purchased via http://deadexistence.bandcamp.com/.

We'll also be giving out details soon of our upcoming euro weekender with the mighty scum-spewing Iron Witch (of Merseyside!). So far we have announced the German date of the tour which will see us play alongside the awesome Bitterness Exhumed @ Juz, Mannheim on Sat 21st September 2013...

Sounds like

THE DEFIANT SCREAMS OF PROMETHEUS AS HIS LIVER IS TORN FROM HIS BODY / THE CRIES OF DESPAIR AS CRONUS DEVOURS HIS CHILDREN / EVILS, HARSH PAIN AND TROUBLESOME DISEASES WHICH GIVE MEN DEATH, UNLEASHED FROM PANDORAS BOX

"Dead Existence are a completely different monster, by grabbing neurosis and dragging the crust/doom overlords' sound through a tar pit of woe and horror to produce something that dredges the depth. Dead Existence are incredible and any act up next need to pull the stops right out"

-- TERRORIZER MAGAZINE

"They may have an occasional stoner bent, but Dead Existence's sludge-laden trawl carries a gut-punching heft, the riffs a show of ill-destined perseverance while the vocalists bereft, defiant barks start to take on emotional, cathartic hue, dragging us down to whatever purgatory spawned them"

-- METAL HAMMER MAGAZINE

"Dead Existence then impress me more than ever before with their colossal riffs simply steamrollering everyone in attendance. It's dirty, nasty, crushingly heavy and very enjoyable indeed"

-- ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE

"Dead Existence, made an immediate impression with their colossal, dirty, doom/sludge. The huge riffs just washed over the audience in vast waves of noise while the primal roar of the vocals was enough to cave in the skulls of the unwary. The band mixed some enticing groove and drive in with the monolithic slabs of sound but were never, for a second, less than monumentally heavy. A very enjoyable half hour of feedback and filth"

-- MTUK METAL 'ZINE

"Angry clawing vocals teamed with epic, gutsy guitars meant Dead Existence nailed Doom Metal delicacies like “Swarm of Bastards” and “Road to Stagnation” which stirred the crowd from a slumber like status"

-- SOUNDSHOCK

"They quickly dispelled any happy go lucky sunshine feel to the festival with their brand of gnarly bummer sludge. This was stewed up uncouth sludgy noise with Sabbath bound stoned up bongwater grooves about it"

-- MTUK METAL 'ZINE

"Live this band are a terrifying prospect, this album commands you have to have your balls strapped down good and hard to be able to handle the power and aggression of a band destined for greater things."

"I thought I'd near-exhausted London's quality Sludge/Doom bands, but when it's played this crushingly and this tight, it's certainly worth a head-bang or two. Not a note wrong - and that includes songwriting as well as playing. Certainly a live one!" --

www.ninehertz.com

This cult classic of a split album, two monster bands that will crush your brains and turn your body into mush. Essential as both bands supply killer tunes. Crushing ! 9/10

http://www.doommantia.com/

"Bone crunching, earth shattering, apocalyptic, these are all common ways of describing the various forms of heavy but I promise you, This is heavier. This is what you will hear resonating from the skies as the earth comes to a slow and bitter end."
