Dead End

~ The old
Our story begins at the end of the 80’s, when vocalist / bass player Micha, guitar players Jeroen and Eef and drummer Gunther decide to start a band, not just some band but they wanted to be different from the mainstream death metal bands, And then and there DEAD END was born.
The first demo in ’91 called Tales from the Real Life..
After that, Micha wanted to focus on the vocals and in Alwin they found a new bandmember on the bass guitar.
With Alwin some changes came, he was more the doom kind of guy, so influences from bands like Anathema, My Dying Bride, Candlemass and Paradise Lost started to infiltrate the music, what resulted in the second demo “Purity ” in ’92.
The band did not play often but had some great gigs with bands like Pestilence, Gorefest and Pentacle, It did not pass unnoticed, and at the end of ’92 some deal offers came in from record company’s like Century Media and Nuclear blast.
With these deals also came some obligations, the band could not commit to some terms due to school obligations of some band members, and so they decided that it was all or nothing with the original band…. they choose nothing… Dead End died at the end of 1992 after releasing an EP called “Wartime in Eden “and releasing one song exclusively on D.S.F.A. compilation cd.
UNTIL... in the early 2014’s Roel from Vic Records came to us with the request to release all the old songs, remastered on one cd, that was cool, so Januari 2015 the album “FOREVER IS NOT ETERNAL “saw the light, and the responses were overwelming.
Micha, Eef, Jeroen van Riet and drummer Gunther Weerepas declined for a full restart, so in Jeroen Gijsbers, Bryan Boorsma, Arjan Jansen en Harald Bouten new members were found.
DEAD END is ready for the rebirth.
