Dead Child
Upon first glance at its
gruesome exterior, Dead
Child appears to be a new
creation. However, its jagged
roots extend deep into the past,
with a history that holds almost
a century of collective experience.
It all began when, as youngsters
growing up in Louisville, KY during the
70s and 80s, the evil riffs of the
heaviest bands were like voices beckoning
them to a darker side. Thus began a
long, downward journey into the abyss.
As the members aged, the effects of
their constant search for fresh sounds
took its toll, both mentally and physically.
Some sought counseling. Others turned
even further inward and found their
maladjustment manifesting in physical ways.
Hopelessly searching to cure bad parts
and old limbs, Dead Child made many
misguided visits to the Louisville Prosthetics
Suppliers. Met with either anger or apathy,
their attempts always ended with another
door slammed in their faces.
Being turned away left
them feeling hopeless and
hollow. The world grew darker.
They gradually became more
and more disoriented until their
surroundings blurred, spinning out
of control. Days and nights became a
single endless moment. Unbearable pain
was the only thread that connected light
and dark. Each member, independent of the
others, went back to his metal roots in an
effort to feel grounded in a doomed world.
Suddenly, a ray of light broke through the
grey: Quarterstick Records appeared with an
extended hand. They covered the extensive
medical bills, and the band was given the
prosthetics and physical therapy they so
desperately needed. All the label asked
for in return was a full-length record.
Dead Child graciously responded with
"Attack"; a violent, 45-minute statement
of intent. Neither withered appendages nor
mangled muscle could restrain their venomous
assault. Embarking on that blackened path
many years ago has led to this: Dead Child
has created a five-headed Frankenstein that
now walks among the living.
